France and the United States edged closer Tuesday toward rapprochement after the Biden administration's exclusion of Washington's oldest ally from a new Indo-Pacific security initiative ignited French anger.

French President Emmanuel Macron and U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken met in Paris to explore ways to overcome the rift over the deal, which scuttled a multibillion-dollar French submarine contract with Australia and led Macron's government to take the unprecedented step of recalling its ambassador to the U.S.

Shortly after their engagement, the White House announced in a statement that President Joe Biden's national security adviser, Jake Sullivan, would meet his French counterpart, Emmanuel Bonne, in Paris later this week “as part of our ongoing consultations on shared bilateral and regional interests.” The State Department official didn't elaborate on what those projects might be, but said they would likely involve the Indo-Pacific and Western efforts to blunt China's growing there and elsewhere, NATO and other trans-Atlantic objectives involving the European Union, and counterterrorism cooperation in Africa's Sahel region.

A French official, speaking under customary anonymity, said the “at length, face-to-face meeting” came immediately after Blinken had seen Bonne. Bonne, the official said, saw Blinken “in order to study the ways of reengaging the relationship following the recall of the French ambassador, and to help restore confidence between France and the United States.”

Time to close down the filth ridden religion. So if this were a corporation, or politician or actor they would be terminated , castigated and cancelled . Maybe it’s time to cancel and rebuke the Catholic church as we know it. History seems to show that as an oorganization they have abused youth all around the world. It's been like that around the world for longer than most believe. It's called the power of the RCC and it's ongoing today.
