Meanwhile Prime Minister Scott Morrison is yet to speak with Mr Macron who has reportedly been rejecting his calls.
Mr Johnson’s statement urging his French counterpart to ‘get a grip’ and ‘give him a break’ stands in contrast to Mr Biden’s more diplomatic approach to tensions over the deal. Despite French anger about the deal, Mr Johnson’s provocative comments went further when he indicated the AUKUS alliance could be broadened to include other security topics.
Mr Johnson went on to say these were the protection of democracy, freedom, human rights, equalities and the rule of law. Mr Morrison has indicated it may take some time for Australia’s relationship with France to recover from AUKUS blow.

DeborahSnow The US is known for looking for 'reds under the beds'. So often US wars end with no result and vague reason. Is it any wonder we question!
