On Tuesday, Blinken spoke with French Prime Minister Jean Castex and separately with President Emmanuel Macron.<\/p>\n<p>The talks come after Joe Biden derailed a French submarine sale to Australia and excluded France from an Indo-Pacific defense pact. Instead of addressing those issues directly, Blinken highlighted alleged \u201cexternal threats.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur democracies are being challenged by authoritarian governments that argue that their model is better at meeting people\u2019s basic needs,\u201d he stated. \u201cSome of these same governments are actively seeking to undermine the rules-based order that\u2019s been fundamental to security and prosperity, for our countries, for generations.
