France President Emmanuel Macron at a press conference following the results of the G20 summit in Rome, said that the Allies of the NATO country – the United States and the United Kingdom – and Australia was unacceptable with Paris in the creation of the Aukus Military Alliance, which led to a deterioration in relationship with these Countries. Reports about it TASS.
“The initiative of the two allies on NATO and Australia when creating Aukus testifies to an invalid appeal, it is obvious,” he noted.
September 16, Washington, London and Canberra concluded an agreement on the defense partnership. Alliance called Aukus (Australia, United Kingdom, USA). After that, Canberra ruined a contract with the French company Naval Group, which provided for the production of 12 impact submarines worth about $ 66 billion, in favor of obtaining atomic submarines from the USA.
This action provoked an international scandal – in France, the gesture was called “kick in the back” and for the first time in history, they recalled their ambassadors to the United States and Australia to consult. Later, the official representative of the French Cabinet of Ministers Gabriel Attal said that France intends to restart cooperation with the United States and restore relations undermined after the scandal.
