PARIS (Reuters) - France and Europe are maintaining their support for the Group of Seven communique and anyone departing from the commitments made at the summit would be showing their "incoherence and inconsistency", a French presidency official told Reuters.

The official was reacting after U.S. President Donald Trump's announcement on Saturday that he was backing out of the G7 communique drawn up at a summit in Canada.
