France has announced that it is recalling its ambassadors to the US and Australia to hold discussions. This is being seen as a protest against the security agreement in which Britain is also involved.
The French foreign minister has said the "extraordinary decision" is justified given the "extraordinary gravity" of the situation.
Recently, America, Australia, and Britain have made an agreement which is being called Ocus. In this, Australia will be given the technology to make submarines with nuclear power.
After this decision, France is very disappointed because its multi-billion-dollar agreement with Australia has ended.
This agreement is being described as a step towards ending China's growing clout in the South China Sea. This was announced on Wednesday by US President Joe Biden, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, and Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison.
The announcement of this alliance to France was given a few hours before it became public.
French Foreign Minister Jean-Ever Drian stated on Friday night saying the ambassadors had been recalled at the request of President Emmanuel Macron.
The French foreign minister said the deal "creates an unacceptable attitude between allies and partners that directly affects our alliances, the vision of our partners, and the importance of the Indo-Pacific region in Europe."
what did America say?
A White House official says the Biden administration has regretted the move and that talks will be held with France in the coming days to resolve differences.
In Washington, Australia's Foreign Minister Maryse Paine said she understood France's "disappointment" and hoped she would explain to France that "we value the bilateral relationship."
The recall of ambassadors between the Allies is extremely unusual and is believed to be the first time France has recalled its envoys from both countries.
French diplomats in Washington had already canceled a proposed celebration on Friday on US-French relations.
After this agreement between the three countries, Australia will become the fourth country in the world to have nuclear submarines. Under this deal, cyber capability, artificial intelligence, and other maritime technology will be shared with Australia.
After this announcement, Australia's $ 37 billion deal with France has ended. Under this deal in 2016, France would build 12 conventional submarines for Australia.
China, on the other hand, has alleged that the three countries have done this deal with a 'cold war mentality.
what experts say
BBC correspondent Barbara Platt Usher in the US State Department says that France is not seeing anything after Australia's move, it is an economic blow to it.
"But French officials are even more annoyed because they were informed of the deal's decision a few hours before its public announcement. They said the new security agreement of the three countries, including Britain, was a complete shock to them. "
"France's decision to withdraw the ambassadors is unprecedented. The country is also acknowledged by the White House as America's 'oldest ally. It says Washington will hold talks with France in the coming days to resolve differences. will do."
"This is an embarrassment to President Biden because he recently promised he would work with his allies."
