00:00This is what was quoted by the American Bloomberg Agency from diplomatic sources, which said that France is reviewing the ways to respond to what happened.
00:10the issue of australia's withdrawal from the french submarine deal is still controversial in europe . Diplomatic sources have revealed to Bloomberg Agency
00:19Britain is preparing for a strong French rose
00:23amid possible long-term negative repercussions on the alliance between the Western countries.
00:28One of the diplomats described by the agency as familiar with the situation in London
00:33British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has sought to ease tensions following the announcement of the new defense pact.
00:41But British diplomats warned officials in London
00:44that the relations with Paris may become complicated. According to the agency, France may re-evaluate its relations with the NATO and China
00:52with the European Union pushing at the same time to develop its capabilities in order to move
00:57independently of the United States. Speaking to Bloomberg, the diplomat expected France to look into this issue
01:04as a basic strategic moment
01:07similar to the Suez crisis in 1956 when Britain and France lost their influence in the Middle East.
01:15especially that it comes after the withdrawal of US President Joe Biden from Afghanistan.
01:19A diplomat also expected France to remain committed to the Pacific and Indian Oceans in view of its interests in the region.
01:28For his part, the Foreign Minister of the European Union, Josep Borrell, confirmed that the countries of the Union expressed their solidarity with France in the crisis of the Australian submarines
01:39and between the United States. Burrell added
01:42that the foreign ministers of 27 or 27
01:48they considered that the dispute that broke out between Paris and Washington
01:53Following the announcement by the United States of the formation of a security alliance in the Indian and Pacific Oceans, to which Britain and Australia belong,
02:02It is not a bilateral issue that has affected the entire European Union.
02:10The X Agreement opened the door to talk about China's exploitation of the crisis or the crisis to face the United States. But the White House spokesperson is silent
02:20said that her country is not in conflict with China
02:23It's in competition. In his speech before the United Nations, Ananthoed said that Washington does not seek a cold war with any country.
02:32Our view of the relationship with China is that we are not in a confrontation but in competition.
02:40So we're not going to give a specific characterization of that relationship.
02:44I would also like to point out that during a 90-minute telephone conversation between President Joe Biden and his Chinese counterpart last week
02:52He discussed many common issues. It was a very frank conversation, and we realize that China is a country when it is.
