France's foreign minister said on Wednesday that differences with Britain were getting bigger and it was up to London to provide proposals to improve relations between the two allies.

"It must be noted that the differences are strong and that they are gradually worsening," Jean-Yves Le Drian said in a parliamentary hearing. "We are waiting on their proposals. The ball is in their court."
