France recalls ambassadors from U.S. and Australia following announcement of submarine deal

--- Quote ---France announced Friday that it would immediately recall its ambassadors from the U.S. and Australia in retaliation over a new partnership between the U.S. and the U.K to deliver submarines to Australia.
According to the Associated Press, Australia scrapped a previous military deal with France that would have provided submarines to the country. Instead, the U.S. will provide nuclear-powered submarines to the country in an effort to halt Chinese military aggression along the South China Sea.
This is the first time France has recalled its ambassador from the U.S.
French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian said in a written statement that the decision the French President Emanuel Macron made “is justified by the exceptional seriousness of the announcements” made by Australia and the U.S.

At first glance, it seems like an extreme reaction. El Jefe might do a 180 on this Australia deal when he realizes these nuclear subs would be a threat to his BFF Red China.
