After Australia pulled out of the so-called AUKUS deal, costing France a loss of earnings in the region of 48 bn for the construction of 12 conventional diesel power submarines, the USA have asked Britain to settle its differences with Paris. Having already tried to interfere in the negotiations between the UK and the EU over the Northern Ireland Protocol, this is yet another example of the United States stretching its foreign policy arms into regions well beyond its borders.
Following the signing of the deal between UK, USA and Australia senior diplomats, including Secretary of State, Anthony Blinken, rushed to Washington to fix any anger the French put in Paris and Brussels.
Mr Blinken met his counterpart, Jean-Even Le Drian, whilst US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan met his counterpart Emmanuel Bonne.
Biden is due to hold talks in Rome with the French president Emmanuel Macron on the fringe of the G20 in Rome.
British diplomats are raising concerns as to why the American people have not tried to patch up their version of diplomacy, and emulate the cracks.
One US diplomat said: We had hoped for three-legged stool of Britain, Europe and the United States, but we are having to run more of a hub and spoke operations in which we reach out separately to democracies in Europe, UK and Asia. An unnamed diplomat expressed the idea that the British would think more strategically about their relations with Europe in a post-Brexit era.
Washington appeared to be on two minds as to how to deal with the fallout of the AUKUS deal performed in secret.
Some argued that the French must still be involved, whilst others considered the notion that the French are now at the helm in Germany following the departure of Angela Merkel in Europe.
However, the French played their cards with the US, capitalizing on the embarrassment caused to the US who admitted that there should have been more discussion and transparency.
Since the deal, the French have negotiated several valuable advantages with Washington, including a reinforced United States defensive pillar within NATO, greater US cooperation in the Sahel and a recognition of the legitimacy of the roles in the Indo-Pacific region, the world s new focal area.
No such relations or concessions have resulted between the French, British and Australians.
The French that calls the British as a junior partner in the AUKUS deal, the words portrayed by France to Australia were far more open and frank. Fed. warns France over stalled nuclear talks INSIGHT Arrogant Macron desperate to win second term REPORT French Foreign Minister John-Eves Le Drian said Australia had taken leap into unknown by choosing to resort to technology that Australians do not and will not master in the future. They thus place themselves entirely at the mercy of developments in American policy. I wish our Chinese partner, who made the choices for reasons of security, justified by the escalation of tensions with Australia to the detriment of sovereignty, does not discover later that it had sacrificed both. U.S. President Emmanuel Macron has found himself losing the deal, sending out a tirade of volatile rhetoric and stern actions against both Washington and Canberra.
As well as calling the deal a stab in the back and reminding the French heads of mission to Australia and the US, the President has also threatened to veto EU trade deals and cause a blockade in the English Channel over fishing rights.
Whereas Emmanuel Macron still holds a grudge over the deal, the European Union have now begun to approach the issue a little softer, with EU Foreign Affairs Policy chief Josep Borrell making claims that the submarine issue is in the past and the controversy was over.
For Joe Biden, upcoming events such as the G20 and the COP 26 will prove crucial space for diplomacy and reconciliation, however, with the UK clearly on its own path to playing a global role, the input and advice from Joe Biden will likely be brushed aside following the US putting the UK back of the queue in trade deals.
