Australia\u2019s Prime Minister Scott Morrison on Friday, Sept. 17, rejected Chinese criticism of Australia\u2019s new nuclear submarine alliance with the United States and said he doesn\u2019t mind that President Joe Biden might have forgotten his name. (Mass Communication Specialist 3rd Class Naomi Johnson\/U.S. Navy via AP)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h5>OAN Newsroom<br \/>UPDATED 7:16 AM PT \u2013 Friday, September 17, 2021<\/h5>\n<p>French officials are outraged by the development of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/briefing-room\/statements-releases\/2021\/09\/15\/joint-leaders-statement-on-aukus\/\">recent trilateral partnership, dubbed Aukus<\/a>, between the United States, United Kingdom and Australia.<\/p>\n<p>On Thursday, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki confirmed the alliance that will help Australia acquire submarines for its Navy was not intended to snub France, who had a longstanding agreement with Australia to build them conventional submarines. Earlier this week, Joe Biden announced the pact could collectively ensure peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific region.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe cooperate closely with France, as the president said yesterday, we have a range of shared priorities in the Indo-Pacific and that will certainly continue,\u201d Psaki stated. \u201cWe don\u2019t see this from our end as a regional divide. We see this as areas and security security issues that we want to take on together.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian, however, called it a stab in the back and said allies don\u2019t do this to each other while comparing Biden to 45th President Donald Trump. French officials were furious with Australia for ending its $90 billion contract with state majority-owned DCNS to build 12 of the world\u2019s biggest conventional submarines.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\u201cThe \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8 choice to exclude a \ud83c\uddea\ud83c\uddfa ally and partner such as \ud83c\uddeb\ud83c\uddf7 from a structuring partnership with Australia, at a time when we are facing unprecedented challenges in the Indo-Pacific region (\u2026) shows a lack of coherence that \ud83c\uddeb\ud83c\uddf7 can only note and regret.\u201d<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/ruGnJkQAWa\">https:\/\/t.co\/ruGnJkQAWa<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 French Embassy U.S. (@franceintheus) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/franceintheus\/status\/1438297090845720577?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 16, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Although the partners never mentioned China in their agreement, some critics have said the new nuclear-powered submarine deal has everything to do with Beijing. The People\u2019s Republic of China said the pact will damage the peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific region.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs it relates to China, we welcome stiff competition with the PRC,\u201d Psaki continued. \u201cWe do not see conflict.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the wake of the disapproval of French leaders, Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison and Biden claimed the country was still a key partner in the Indo-Pacific region. Meanwhile, French officials were set to host a gala this week in Washington, D.C. to celebrate their alliance with the U.S. and shared victory in the U.S. Revolutionary War, but after Biden\u2019s\u2019 announcement it has since been cancelled.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/sen-blackburn-calls-for-ban-on-biden-admin-vaccine-mandates\/\">Sen.
