Macron expressed reservations about following suit. "I think that if everyone is now rushing to follow the Americans’ lead in isolating Rwanda, there is little chance of persuading Rwanda to adopt a cooperative policy," he said. "Personally, I have more faith in the value of dialogue with the two main leaders."
