Is the quarrel between the two French and American presidents over Australian submarines really behind us? Emmanuel Macron and Joe Biden are met? Friday October 29, at Villa Bonaparte in Rome (Italy). A meeting deciphered by the editorial staff of 13 Hours of France 2.
It was their first meeting since the diplomatic incident. Friday October 29, Emmanuel Macron and Joe Biden met at the Villa Bonaparte in Rome, a symbolic place since it is the French Embassy to the Vatican. The two heads of state did not skimp on gestures of affection. Joe Biden even recognizes an error in canceling the contract on Australian submarines. “What happened was awkward and it was not done in a graceful manner”, recognizes the American head of state.
“I had the impression that France had been informed very early on that the contract would not be concluded”, added Joe Biden. During this meeting, Emmanuel Macron took the opportunity to obtain support for the creation of a European defense. “Together, we want to strengthen this coordination, this strategic partnership between the European Union and NATO”, did he declare. And to add to the journalists of France Télévisions: “Trust is like love, statements are good, evidence is better.“ This public reconciliation does not erase the loss of a contract of 50 billion euros by France.
