France recalls US and Australia ambassadors in protest over submarine deal
France recalls its ambassadors to the US and Australia in a dramatic escalation of diplomatic tensions in the row over the new Aukus security pact's submarine deal.

French foreign minister Jean-Yves Le Drian said: “This exceptional decision is justified because of the exceptional seriousness of the announcements made on 15 September by Australia and the United States."
