The Australia-UK-US pacific security pact - AUKUS - has been greeted with anger across France. France’s reaction is both due to Australia’s decision to cancel a five-year old contract with France to build diesel-power submarines and because it officially found out about AUKUS a couple of hours before it was announced. This led to France recalling its ambassadors from Canberra and Washington D.C. Interestingly, however, France did not recall its ambassador from London. Why is that?
