Biden Speaks with Macron For the First Time Since France Recalled Its Ambassador to the US
Joe Biden spoke to French President Emmanuel Macron on Wednesday for the first time since France recalled its ambassador to the US.
The government of French President Macron announced last Friday afternoon it was recalling their ambassadors to the United States and Australia for consultations in the wake of a defense agreement with the U.S., Australia and the United Kingdom that shut out France and cancelled a multi-billion dollar submarine deal between France and Australia.
This is the first time France has recalled its U.S. ambassador in the well over 200 years of close relations dating to France’s support for the American Revolution.
France was angry after they learned about Joe Biden’s unilateral decision to freeze France out of the deal with Australia.
