Emmanuel Macron and his American counterpart Joe Biden have scheduled a new telephone interview on Friday at 6 p.m., while the two countries have begun to relax after the subsea contract crisis, we learned from the Elysee.

This call precedes a meeting between the two leaders which should take place at the G20 in Rome at the end of October, followed by the visit to Paris of the American vice-president Kamala Harris.

She will attend the Peace Forum on November 11 and could meet the French president on this occasion, according to diplomatic sources.

"In-depth consultation process"

This new call will be part of a warming phase between Paris and Washington after the crisis caused by the announcement on September 15 of a new alliance between the United States, Australia and the United Kingdom.

This partnership, called AUKUS, aroused rare anger from France because it torpedoed a mega-contract for French submarines with the Australians.

A phone call from Joe Biden and Emmanuel Macron, a week later, had made it possible to initiate a relaxation.

The tenant of the White House had then publicly made amends on the method.

And the two heads of state had launched a "process of in-depth consultations" to restore a hard-tested confidence between Paris and Washington.
