France and the United States are fighting together against the same enemy, French Ambassador to the US Gerard Araud said in a message on Friday in response to the deadly terrorist attack in Nice.

WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — Both France and the US are members of the US-led coalition of over 60 nations that has been carrying out airstrikes against Daesh terrorist targets in Syria and Iraq since summer 2014.

"The French and the Americans are fighting side by side against the same enemy," Araud stated in a Twitter message.
