The French government has recalled its ambassador to America amid a new national security partnership with the United Kingdom and Australia.
French Ambassador to the US Philippe Etienne confirmed the report when questioned by the media.
French Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs Jean-Yves Le Drian said the move was at the request of President Emmanuel Macron.
According to Le Drian, the behavior of allies and partners is unacceptable abandoning the ocean-class submarine project that Australia and France have been working on since 2016 and the announcement of a new partnership with America aimed at looking at the possibility of future cooperation with nuclear-powered submarines.
France has insisted it has lost $ 65 billion from an existing deal that would provide Australia with conventional, diesel-powered submarines.
