Tensions rose after Australia had dumped a multi-billion dollar contract with France for submarines, then made a deal with the U.S. and the U.K. instead.<\/p>\n<p>The move by the U.S., Australia, and the U.K. caused France to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/angry-and-bitter-france-snubs-biden-cancels-gala-celebrating-u-s-french-relationship\">cancel<\/a>&nbsp;a gala in the U.S. and to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/france-recalls-ambassadors-to-u-s-australia-amid-fallout-over-submarine-deal\">recall<\/a>&nbsp;its ambassadors to the U.S. and Australia. French leaders described the incident as a betrayal and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/france-accuses-biden-admin-australia-of-lying-duplicity-in-what-is-now-a-serious-crisis\">said<\/a>&nbsp;that they had been lied to by the Biden administration.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe asked me. He said, \u2018what\u2019s the situation?\u2019 and I explained exactly, uh. He wasn\u2019t, he had not been aware of that,\u201d Kerry said. \u201cHe literally had not been aware of what had transpired and I don\u2019t want to go into the details of it, but suffice it to say, that the president, my president is very committed to strengthening the relationship and making sure that this is a small event of the past and moving on to the much more important future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The interview, which went viral earlier in the day, drew scrutiny from U.S. politicians, national security experts, and journalists.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Marshall S. Billingslea<\/strong>, former Assistant Secretary for Terrorist Financing at the United States Department of the Treasury: \u201cHow on earth was the President unaware? The French made a row over the submarine deal, even going so far as to recall their Ambassador.\u201d<\/li>\n<li><strong>Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL)<\/strong>: \u201cSince assuming office, Joe Biden has been an absent president. But for a President not to be made aware of a technology transfer of this severity and the fallout with a longstanding ally is not only alarming, but raises valid concerns: What else is POTUS in the dark on?\u201d<\/li>\n<li><strong>Victoria Coates, <\/strong>former senior U.S. official: \u201cI really did think the one thing we could trust this administration to do was to competently manage the alliance with France.\u201d<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ian Bremmer<\/strong>, columnist: \u201cThis is surprising. Both that Biden wasn\u2019t aware and that Kerry would admit it. Comms from Biden Admin have been locked down\u2014Klain not going to be happy about this interview.\u201d<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sen. Bill Hagerty (R-TN)<\/strong>: \u201c. @ClimateEnvoy John Kerry says @POTUS isn\u2019t consulted on reactions of key US Allies. This could explain disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal &amp; Biden Admin selling out Eastern European allies in NATO &amp; Ukraine while waiving sanctions on Nord Stream 2 pipeline.\u201d<\/li>\n<li><strong>Matt Whitlock<\/strong>, Republican strategist: \u201cWOW \u2014 Kerry sort of throwing Blinken and the entire administration foreign policy arm under the bus here and making Biden look completely disengaged.\u201d<\/li>\n<li><strong>Rebeccah Heinrichs<\/strong>, Manhattan Institute: \u201cIt\u2019s amazing obviously because he reveals that Biden was clueless on such a major decision w\/ big implications for an important ally. It\u2019s also amazing that Kerry just\u2026 said it.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><i><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
