PARIS (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump should have shown some "common decency" and respect France's day of mourning on the third anniversary of the Nov 13 attacks in Paris, the French government's spokesman said on Wednesday.

Asked about Trump's tweets, in which the U.S. leader criticised France's record in World War One and Two, French government spokesman Benjamin Griveaux said:
"Yesterday was Nov 13, we were commemorating the murder of 130 of our people," he said. "So I'll reply in English: 'common decency' would have been appropriate."
