FILE - In this June 15, 2021, file photo, Australia's Prime Minister Scott Morrison leaves after meeting with Britain's Prime Minister Boris Johnson at 10 Downing Street, in London. France would have known Australia had “deep and grave concerns” that a submarine fleet the French were building would not meet Australian needs, Prime Minister Morrison said on Sunday, Sept. 19, after cancelling the contract.
“They would have had every reason to know that we have deep and grave concerns that the capability being delivered by the Attack class submarine was not going to meet our strategic interests and we have made very clear that we would be making a decision based on our strategic national interest,” he added, referring to the French government.
The phone call is at the request of Biden, spokesman Gabriel Attal said, adding that there was “shock” and “anger” at first. But now it’s time to try to move forward, he said.France won the contract in 2016 over offers from Germany and. The Shortfin Barracuda was to be a nuclear submarine design adapted to be powered by diesel on the surface and battery underwater.
This current triangular misunderstanding emanates from French lackluster response to Kabul emergeny evacuations.! No one will tell you this! British/American/Australian forces along with their air assets.. globemasters, ac 130 joined forces and achieved monumental cooperation!
USA, the worst world cancer. UK and Australia, some of their metastases...
Australia went for the better deal. Nuclear will always trump a diesel-electric sub.
Oh dear, how sad, what a pity.
Y’all need to be defunded ccpshills
Stop Whining 🇫🇷You are now embarrassing your country‼
عادي من امتى كان لكم عهد 😏
Le 30 août ? L'Australie n'était pas informée de son nouveau contrat ? Prenez nous pour des imbéciles
They weren't building anything. They were agreeing on design parameters --to then come up with 'blueprints'.
So why the Australian Navy requested in the RFP competition diesel propelled submarines instead of nuclear ? France own top notch submarines are nuclear propelled.
So anyone who has concerns can now cancel a signed contract ? Good to know.
Scott Morrison is lying.
oh, ya Lucifer is very slick. the AC? i see.
this is terrible news
