After the Biden-Macron Call Mending Fence, France’s envoy to return to us

Paris: US President and France moved to improve the bond on Wednesday, with France agreed to send his dubsador back to Washington and the White House said it was wrong in cutting the deal for Australia to buy us instead of the French submarine without consulting with Paris.
In a joint statement issued after US President Joe Biden and French President Emmanuel Macron spoke by telephone, the two leaders agreed to launch a profound consultation to rebuild trust, and to meet in Europe at the end of October.
They said Washington had committed to improving “support for counter-terrorism operations in Sahel carried out by European countries” although it is not clear whether this means the spread of US special forces or only greater logistical support.
The call, requested by Washington, was an attempt to repair the fence after France accused the US stabbing him behind when Australia wasted a $ 40-billion contract for conventional French submarines, and chose a nuclear-powered submarine to be built with US and British technology instead.
France was angry with US security partnerships, England and Australia and remembering its ambassadors from Washington and Canberra.
“The two leaders agreed that the situation would benefit from open consultations among allies in important things for France and our European partners,” said a joint US and French statement.
“President Biden conveyed his sustainable commitment in that matter.” The US “recognizes the importance of European defense which is stronger and more capable, which contributes positively to transatlantic and global security and complementary to NATO”, he added.
US security partnerships, Australia and Britain are widely seen as designed to fight China’s developing firmness in the Pacific, but critics say that he weakened the broader Biden efforts to collect allies like France.
White House spokesman Jen PSAKI described the call of Biden-Macron as friendly.
“We hope and the president hopes this is a step in returning to normal in an important old relationship,” PSAKI said
