PARIS (Reuters) -French President Emmanuel Macron seeks to name a new government in early July, possibly including members from outside his political party, according to an interview with AFP. Macron has asked Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne to propose a new "government of action" at the end of next week and confirmed his confidence in Borne over the long term, AFP said in a Twitter post. The president rejected Borne’s offer to resign Tuesday, in the wake of a stinging election defeat last week in which he lost his absolute majority in parliament.
