Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani on Thursday cancelled a planned trip to Paris after what he called "unacceptable" remarks by a top French minister about Rome's migration policy.

"I will not go to Paris for the planned meeting with (French counterpart) Minister Colonna," Tajani tweeted, saying Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin's "insults against the government and Italy are unacceptable".
