Reuters quoted a report from a White House official that the United States regretted the decision of France to recall its ambassador to the United States, saying that Washington has always maintained close ties with France and will communicate with France in the next few days to resolve differences. The Australian Ministry of Foreign Affairs also regrets the French decision and emphasizes the importance of the relationship between the two countries. It is hoped that the two sides will once again communicate on the common interests of the two countries based on common values.
A source close to French diplomacy told Reuters that this is the first time that France has recalled an ambassador in this way. Le Drian’s statement did not mention Britain’s participation in the “AUKUS”. The news revealed that France believed that Britain’s participation was out of speculation and there was no need to summon the ambassador to the United Kingdom to discuss this.
