On September 20, local time, French Foreign Minister Le Drian, who had arrived in New York, the United States, to participate in the 76th UN General Assembly held a press conference to continue to “shell” Australia and the United States for conspiring to tear up the submarine contract. Le Drian emphasized that this is not just a problem involving a military contract, but a more serious problem is the breakdown of trust among allies.
Le Drian also said that the statements made by the President of the European Commission von der Lein and the President of the European Council Michel on the incident on the 20th have shown that France’s doubts and concerns about relations with the United States have made the entire EU feel the same, and the challenges faced by EU countries. It is how to uphold and jointly safeguard multilateralism.
Le Drian said frankly that France is disappointed with the Biden administration of the United States because the French side thinks that the page of unilateralism and unpredictable policies in the United States has been turned over. “Withdraw from the group” in the past.
When asked by a reporter how France hopes the United States would repair bilateral relations, Le Drian responded that he has no presuppositions about the words and deeds of the United States, and now it is up to the leaders of France and the United States to conduct candid exchanges. However, Le Drian also stated that there is no plan for a bilateral meeting with US Secretary of State Brinken during the UN General Assembly. (Headquarters reporter Zou Heyi)
