The French foreign minister said the country immediately recalled the ambassadors in protest against a tripartite security agreement that included the development of nuclear submarines for Australia.

«По просьбе президента я решил немедленно отозвать наших двух послов в США и Австралии в Париж для консультаций, — говорится в заявлении министра иностранных дел Франции Жан-Ив Ле Дриана. — Это решение оправдано серьезностью заявлений, сделанных 15 сентября Австралией и США».

A White House spokesman, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the US President Biden’s administration had discussed with French counterparts the recall of the French Ambassador to the United States, Philippe Etienne.

«Мы сожалеем о том, что они сделали этот шаг, но в ближайшие дни продолжим заниматься урегулированием наших разногласий, как делали это в другие моменты в течение нашего длительного союза», — сказал чиновник.

Joe Biden on September 15 spoke about the new partnership between the United States, Australia and the United Kingdom.

Prime Ministers Scott Morrison of Australia and Boris Johnson of the UK joined Biden to announce the partnership. The leaders said the security partnership will seek to enhance stability in the Indo-Pacific region as China expands its military power and influence.

The deal, among other things, partially completes the long-standing submarine contract between Australia and France, replacing it with a new agreement between Australia, the US and the UK.

The US and the UK have agreed to help Australia acquire and develop nuclear submarines, which will enable the Australian Navy to help counter Chinese nuclear-powered ships in the region.

«Это был удар в спину. У нас сложились доверительные отношения с Австралией. И сейчас это доверие предано», — подчеркнул Ле Дриан.

French officials in Washington have canceled the gala at their sprawling complex.

A French official confirmed that the event, which was scheduled to commemorate the 240th anniversary of the Battle of the Capes, will no longer be held at the embassy in Washington.

"Other parts of the celebration are still ongoing," including a wreath-laying ceremony in Annapolis, Maryland, the official explained. Two other events involving a French destroyer in Baltimore and a French submarine in Norfolk harbor have not been canceled.

US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken told reporters that he and the head of the Defense Department, Lloyd Austin, spoke with their French counterparts about the new security pact ahead of its release.

Pentagon spokesman John Kirby noticed Austin spoke to his French counterpart again on September 17.

«Я, конечно, не буду характеризовать французскую сторону, но из обсуждения стало ясно, что предстоит еще много работы с точки зрения наших оборонных отношений с Францией», — прокомментировал Кирби и уточнил, что они обсуждали также общие проблемы и интересы.

Why France is angry with the USA

The French government says it was betrayed when Australia pulled out of an existing multi-billion dollar defense deal, agreeing instead to get nuclear submarines in a new deal with the United States and the United Kingdom. CNN.

Senior French officials said the deal was a stab in the back.

France could lose $ 65 billion from an existing deal to supply Australia with conventional diesel-powered submarines.

The cancellation of the deal with France, a major global arms exporter, is expected to have a significant economic impact on the French defense sector.

Australia previously planned to acquire 12 conventional strike-class submarines from the French shipbuilding company Naval Group.

Le Drian said Australia's decision to withdraw from the deal with France "runs counter to the letter and spirit of cooperation that prevailed between France and Australia," but Australia claims that parts of their contract allow it to withdraw from the deal.

Решение США избавиться от одного из своих самых сильных союзников, Франции, является результатом борьбы мировых держав за власть в Индо-Тихоокеанском регионе — в основном против угрозы Китая.

The deal was also announced a day before the European Union was to unveil its long-awaited strategy for the Indo-Pacific.

The submarine deal follows the indiscriminate withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan, which has drawn criticism from NATO allies.

The Americans and Australians emphasize that for the French government, the abandonment of the original contract is not shocking news, as high-ranking French officials were aware of the Australian government's decision.
