Diplomacy USA, UK and Australia seal a new military alliance against China
Anti-China pact France responds to the Aukus military alliance with a diplomatic crisis with the US
The French Foreign Minister,
Jean-Yves Le Drian
, accused the United States and Australia of
"lying" and working behind an ally
like France in their military treaty that supposes the suspension of an agreement for the sale of French submarines.
Speaking to France 2 public television, Le Drian assured that there is
"a serious breach of trust"
with his "former allies" in the United States and Australia and that this attitude will influence the evaluation of
NATO's
future strategy
.
"Things are not going well between us, and that is why we have called on the ambassadors to show our former partners that there is strong discontent ... and to reassess our position to defend our interests in Australia and the United States," he added .
The minister did not spare criticism of the attitude of Washington and Canberra, he assured that they
were notified only one hour before the official announcement
and considered "brutal" the solemn announcement made by the president of the United States,
Joe Biden
, and the Australian Prime Minister,
Scott Morrison
.
Le Drian noted that Biden has behaved the same as his predecessor,
Donald Trump
, "but without the tweets."
Regarding the decision not to call the ambassador in London for consultations, the minister assured that it is not necessary because "the permanent opportunism" of the British is already known, who in his opinion are nothing more than "comparsas" in this agreement.
Le Drian doubted that the agreement had to do with the Chinese threat, because
the American submarines will not be delivered to Australia before 2040
, ten years after the French.
He considered that Washington is carrying out a confrontational strategy with China that France does not share and, given the lack of European support for the French position, he assured: "
This is not over yet."
Although he denied that France is considering leaving NATO, he assured that this matter will weigh on the new strategy of the Alliance that will be established at the next summit in Madrid.
