French diplomats are expressing their anger with President Joe Biden and the United States after the USA announced a deal with Australia to share nuclear submarine technology that co-opted an existing deal between Australia and France.

Under the agreement, announced Wednesday, the US and Britain will step in to provide nuclear submarine technology to Australia, with the latter cancelling a $40 billion nuclear submarine deal that was beset by manufacturing difficulties. The deal represents the first time that the United States has agreed to share nuclear submarine technology with a nation other than the United Kingdom.

French diplomats were quick to announce their fury over the deal, which appears to have been organized without notifying France that their existing agreement with Australia would be cancelled.

Hmm...I assumed they celebrated the deal over some French beer, and curious what beer might be French, I found nothing in the damn article about beer.

Did they mean they at their lunch?

I've heard both versions of that phrase; beer and lunch.

Well, I guess I learned something new. Would have been funny if they did celebrate over some French beer though.

The French don't really make good beer.
