PARIS, Sept 20 — France started having serious doubts on its US$40 billion submarine contract with Australia in June, while the US never answered any questions related to the deal, the Elysee presidential palace said today.
The Elysee also said that there had been no hint of any contract canceling when French president Emmanuel Macron met Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison in Paris in mid-June. Australia said last week it would cancel an order of conventional submarines from France and instead build at least eight nuclear-powered submarines with US and British technology after striking a security partnership with those countries under the name AUKUS. — Reuters
