Le Maire told U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen at the start of a bilateral meeting on the sidelines of the G20 summit in Bali that it was important for the United States and France to work together to quell inflation.

"So I really think that's the issue that we have on the table, is how to bring down energy prices and how to get rid of inflation," Le Maire said.
