PARIS (Reuters) - France’s foreign minister said on Sunday he shares U.S. President-elect Joe Biden’s view that President Donald Trump’s challenge to the Nov. 3 presidential election result is irresponsible. Biden on Thursday called Trump’s efforts to reverse the result “totally irresponsible”.“We are attuned to what Joe Biden said of Donald Trump showing ‘incredible iresponsability’. I share Joe Biden’s view,” Jean-Yves Le Drian told LCI television. “I never spoke in that manner but we are coming to such a point! I think Joe Biden’s comment reflects reality and I say it very clearly.”France, like many countries around the world, swiftly congratulated Biden on Nov. 7 after he secured the votes needed to win the election. Trump has not conceded and is persisting with long-shot attempts to overturn the result. Because of this, Biden is not receiving the classified intelligence due a president-elect, and his transition team has not received the funding, office space and briefings from current government officials normally afforded to an incoming administration.
