Biden not 'aware of what had transpired' in AUKUS submarine deal: Kerry
Fox News
U.S. Climate Envoy John Kerry told a French news channel that President Biden was not “aware” the latest tri-lateral agreement between the U.S., U.K, and Australia would anger France.
The interview with the French outlet came just weeks after a U.S.-U.K deal with Australia, dubbed AUKUS, voided a $40 billion 2016 submarine contract between France and the Aussie government.
The deal with France would have provided Australia with conventional submarines, while the new agreement will grant the Indo-Pacific nation with highly sensitive nuclear submarine technology.
