Trump on Friday issued an executive order that will temporarily block entry to the U.S. for foreigners from Syria, Iraq, Iran, Sudan, Somalia, Yemen and Libya. The ban is set to last for at least 90 days.

Ayrault said he will be inviting Rex Tillerson to Paris to further explain Europe's values and interests, assuming Tillerson is confirmed as secretary of State.

"The United States is a country where Christian traditions have an important meaning. Loving your neighbor is a major Christian value, and that includes helping people," said Gabriel.

"I think that is what unites us in the West, and I think that is what we want to make clear to the Americans."

The two diplomats also underscored their views on Russia, reiterating that sanctions should only be lifted if Moscow makes substantive efforts of negotiating peace in Ukraine.

"Let's not forget there was a war, that Russia sought to take over parts of Ukraine," Ayrault said.

Trump on Friday was noncommittal on whether he would lift the sanctions on Russia. He is scheduled to speak by phone with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Saturday.
