to give australia the technology to build a fleet of nuclear powered submarines. the problem is australia already had a submarine deal with france that's been torn up and france is furious. there has been lying, duplicity, a major breach of trust and contempt. this will not do things are not going well between us. and i'm with the president of france. it's hard to believe this was just a few months ago. france says it was blindsided by australia's decision and america's involvement stung. a breach of contract, which is one thing, it's a breach of breach of trust, which is very important. and then it's a worldwide humiliation. the french ambassador to canberra is on his way back to paris, along with the ambassador to the us. i'm very sad to be forced to leave, but it needs to be some reassessment.
