President Biden and French President Emmanuel Macron issued a joint statement after speaking by phone on Thursday about the rift between the allies over a new defense partnership in the Indo-Pacific region. They agreed to meet in person in Europe at the end of October, and Macron agreed to send his ambassador back to Washington for more talks with officials.

"The two leaders agreed that the situation would have benefitted from open consultations among allies on matters of strategic interest to France and our European partners. President Biden conveyed his ongoing commitment in that regard," they said in the unusually descriptive statement about the call, which the statement said Biden had requested.

We f***ed them good on a several billion dollar submarine contract with Australia and there really isn't anything they can do about it other than pitch the hissy fit they have already pitched. They will get over it.
