Biden speaks with French President Macron for the first time since a diplomatic crisis over talks to equip Australia with nuclear-powered submarines
In the call, Biden appeared to acknowledge missteps in how the United States approached the talks. A joint statement between the United States and France afterward said Macron and Biden"agreed that the situation would have benefitted from open consultations among allies on matters of strategic interest to France and our European partners.""President Biden conveyed his ongoing commitment in that regard," the statement said.
Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison said Tuesday he would not speak with Macron during the UN this week."That is not an opportunity for that at this time. I'm sure that opportunity will come in time. But right now, I understand the disappointment," Morrison said.And British Prime Minister Boris Johnson appeared to make light of France's outrage during an interview outside the US Capitol in Washington.
