over a submarine deal with Britain and the United States, claiming their country has been stabbed in the back.Australia’s submarine program will “go nuclear” under a defence pact with Joe Biden and Boris Johnson.French officials were outraged by the announcement.
French President Emmanuel Macron will be furious over Australia’s new submarine deal. Picture: Adam Taylor/PMO.“I want to stress that France remains an incredibly important partner in the Pacific,” Mr Morrison said. Australia’s deal with French shipbuilder Naval Group on a new fleet of submarines has been mired by cost blowouts and delays.Defence strategists have expressed concerns the construction timeline was far too slow, especially considering rising tensions with China.French diplomat Gerard Araud lashed out at the arrangement.
“The American choice which leads to the removal of an ally and a European partner such as France from a structuring partnership with Australia when we are facing unprecedented challenges in the Indo-Pacific region … marks an absence of coherence that France can only observe and regret,” Mr Le Drian wrote.
Well they have.
WhosFibbing Since when has France been one of our most important European allies?

The French can be so dramatic.
The decision to go nuclear was the right one, the blindsiding and exclusion of France was unforgivable and goes to the heart of Morrison’s style of leadership of making it up as he goes😎
Everyone wants a piece of the action. 🤦♀️
On the other hand, in its usual spendthrift manner, the Morrison government has gifted $1 billion to the French for just coming over for a barbie and a beer.
It's been 10 years. If I was 10 years overdue on my contract, mine would be axed too.
Now the French know how Australian citizens feel every day with ScottMorrisonMP as PM
Wasn't Scottythefukwit also behind the scheme to produce weapons for export locally? Wish they had a fraction of that zeal in saving the car industry. LNPfail
No surprise there his probably been told do it by his US master and he'll pocket a large donation to his personal bank account .
Surrender Monkeys who seem to have forgotten how we saved them in WW1 and WW2.
