David PUJADAS and Patrick POIVRE D'ARVOR ask Jacques CHIRAC if this veto would not open a diplomatic crisis with the United States and an economic embargo. It states: "France is not an anti-American country... We have two centuries of common history... There is no risk that the French people and the American people will get angry..."
