On Friday, President Joe Biden admitted to President Emmanuel Macron of France that his administration was “clumsy” in its handling of a security pact between the U.K., U.S. and Australia that lost France billions of dollars in nuclear submarine contracts.
In the first meeting between the two leaders since the “Aukus pact” was agreed, Macron said that it was important to “look to the future.”
Biden and Macron met at France’s Vatican embassy in Rome, Villa Bonaparte, and was part of a series of meetings between Biden and other world leaders ahead of numerous international summits.
