France recalls ambassadors to US and Australia in response to AUKUS nuclear submarine pact
Fox News
France has recalled its ambassadors to the United States and Australia in response to a pact signed by the two countries along with the United Kingdom that they referred to as a stab in the back.
France has expressed outrage after an announcement this week of a pact between Australia, England, and the U.S. that will provide nuclear submarines to Australia and scrap an agreement previously made to send French-made nuclear submarines to Australia.
"The abandonment of the ocean-class submarine project that Australia and France had been working on since 2016 and the announcement of a new partnership with the United States aimed at studying the possibility of future cooperation on nuclear-powered submarines constitute unacceptable behavior among allies and partners; their consequences affect the very concept we have of our alliances, our partnerships, and the importance of the Indo-Pacific for Europe," the statement added.
