France Calls U.S.-Australia Submarine Deal a Betrayal
France said it had been betrayed by the U.S. after being pushed out of a multibillion-dollar deal to supply submarines to Australia and warned that the move would undermine its plans for countering the influence of China in the Pacific. French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian on Thursday called the U.S. move a “stab in the back.” President Biden on Wednesday announced a new security pact with Australia and the U.K. that would include a long-term deal to build nuclear submarines for Australia. Australia on Thursday confirmed it was withdrawing from the French contract.
