Haiti summoned the French ambassador after insulting Macron

According to RCO News Agency, the Haitian government has summoned the French ambassador in this country in order to protest against the recent insult of French President Emmanuel Macron to Haitian leaders by calling them “idiots” and called Macron’s words “unfriendly and inappropriate”.
