(CNN) The former French ambassador to the US on Tuesday described the Trump administration as "totally dysfunctional" and said the United States "is not anymore the policeman of the world."

"A lot of offices are still empty, two years after the inauguration of President Trump. Or people are appointed and they leave after one year. Or if there are people in the office ... they don't know what the President will decide the day after. So in a sense, it's dysfunctional," Gérard Araud said in an interview with CNN's Christiane Amanpour.

Araud also dismissed the idea that French President Emmanuel Macron and US President Donald Trump had a so-called "bromance," saying "it didn't make any sense." He said Macron, like any other French president, wanted to have a good relationship with his American counterpart.

"The fact here is that the men disagree on most of the issues," Araud said, referencing the Iran nuclear deal specifically that the Trump administration withdrew from last year.
