After Australia broke a French submarine mega-contract in favor of the United States, US President Joe Biden asked for a meeting with his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron, the government said on Sunday.
"There will be a telephone exchange in the next few days," government spokesman Gabriel Attal said on Sunday.
There will be from Emmanuel Macron "a request for clarification", developed Gabriel Attal on BFMTV.
"We want explanations" on what "is akin to a major breach of confidence," he added.
France on Friday recalled its ambassadors to the United States and Australia, an unprecedented decision vis-à-vis two historic allies, after Australia's decision to cancel the contract in favor of American nuclear-powered ships.
