US President Admits AUKUS N-Submarine Deal Rollout was ‘Clumsy’
The President of America, has told French leader Emmanuel Macron that America was clumsy over a security and technology agreement signed between Australia, the U.S., and Britain that lost France billions.
Joe Biden, the President of America, has told French leader Emmanuel Macron that America was clumsy over a security and technology agreement signed between Australia, the U.S., and Britain that lost France billions.
The United States leader and his French counterpart Macron met Friday at the Vatican Embassy in Rome, Italy, before the “Group of Twenty” leaders’ summit this weekend, for their foremost physical discussion since an astounded Macron was left feeling deceived and humiliated by AUKUS security pact in September.

Joe Biden said what happened was, to use an English phrase, what they did was clumsy. However, he acknowledged that it was undone with a lot of grace, next to Emanuel Macron in Rome before G20 Summit. Both talked to the media following their meeting, which was evidently held at the French Embassy to the Vatican.
The Indo-Pacific AUKUS security pact provides Australia with nuclear submarines. But acquiring American submarines meant Canberra canceled the 65 Bn dollar agreement it earlier made with Paris for traditional diesel submarines.
Moreover, the diplomatic fallout was rapid – the Unite States’ oldest ally France momentarily recalled its envoys to Australia and America in an unprecedented show of anger, saying they’re not informed in advance of the defense deal.
Mr. Biden said Friday that he was under the impression that Paris had been consulted long before that the agreement wasn’t coming through. However, he emphasizes that he doesn’t realize that Paris hasn’t been. Director of the “U.S. and the Americas Programme” at Chatham House, Dr. Leslie Vinjamuri, said this modest concession matters.
Vinjamuri said that it is quite apparent both Macron and Biden have a lot to wish and lose this relationship to work, so, they’re exploring ways to signal that, including in that particular case an acknowledgment that stops short of an apology. However, earlier, Joe Biden committed to supporting Paris in their anti-terrorism struggle in the Sahel, where instability initiates waves of African asylum seekers to aim for Europe.

Moreover, Vinjamuri said that America has undoubtedly made a tough call on handling Paris in the run-up to the decision, and, ultimately, the AUKUS defense pact stands, and the French Republic is outside of it.
