Joe Biden Admits to Emmanuel Macron He Was Clueless and ‘Clumsy’ over Axed Australian Submarine Deal

Charlie Spiering 29 Oct 2021

President Joe Biden met with French President Emmanuel Macron on Friday, admitting he was unaware he upset the French while making a submarine deal with Australia in September.

“I was under the impression that France had been informed long before … honest to God I did not know you had not been,” Biden admitted to Macron during the meeting which took place in Rome ahead of the G-20 summit.

At the time, NATO ally France was furious that the United States joined with the UK and made a deal with Australia in September to provide them with nuclear submarines, which prompted Australia to cancel their deal with the French.

Even more insulting to the French, was they found out about the deal from the press, not from the Americans or the Australians much less the UK.

President Biden was conciliatory during the meeting with Macron.

White House documents uncovered by an Australian newspaper suggest President Joe Biden knew France hadn't been told Australia planned to cancel a $90 billion submarine deal, throwing his claims to French President Emmanuel Macron into doubt.
