French officials CANCEL gala dinner celebrating ties with US in protest at losing $90bn sub contract | Daily Mail Online
French diplomats in Washington on Thursday canceled a gala at their embassy to celebrate ties between the U.S. and France amid mounting fury at the Biden administration’s role in scuppering a $90 billion submarine deal with Australia.
The event was supposed to commemorate the 240th anniversary of the Battle of the Capes, when the French Navy fought the Royal Navy of Britain during the Revolutionary War.
But it will not now go ahead on Friday, an official told the AFP news agency, saying the occasion ‘has been made more sober.’
What a bunch of little beetches.
