BRDO, Slovenia (HRNW) – French President Emmanuel Macron said on Tuesday he hoped to close a rift with U.S. counterpart Joe Biden when the pair meet in Rome at the end of October, saying he wanted the long-time allies to work together once again “in good faith”.
Reconciliation at the Group of 20 summit on Oct. 30-31 would follow a Biden-Macron phone call last month and potentially end a transatlantic row triggered last month by the United States negotiation in secret of a military pact, known as AUKUS, with Australia and Britain to counter China, excluding France.
“We need to look with lucidity at the decisions taken by our allies. There were choices that were made and I can t say that France and Europe were taken into account, but we have a history that is bigger (than this),” Macron said as he arrived at a summit of EU leaders in Slovenia.
