Aukus: Johnson to Macron, 'enough is enough'. Biden calls Paris

(ANSA) - LONDON, SEPTEMBER 22 - Boris Johnson does not seem to want to know more about the French controversy against Aukus, the Indian-Pacific pact signed by the US, the United Kingdom and Australia that has knocked out Paris from a billionaire submarine contract, while efforts are multiplied to appease tensions.

    The British Prime Minister insists: Aukus helps global security, excludes no one and is not hostile to China. From New York, where he participates in the UN Assembly, he jokingly exhorts President Macron to "give us a break" and repeats them in French: "donnez moi un break". Meanwhile, a telephone conversation is expected between Macron and the president of the United States Joe Biden, while from one part of the EU there are invitations not to postpone the EU-US Council on trade and technology (TTC),subject under examination by the Commission.

    Denmark says that it "does not understand at all" the criticisms of France and the EU towards the United States on the submarine crisis linked to the Aukus treaty. The Vatican Secretary of State Parolin also spoke on the matter today, stating that "the Holy See is opposed to rearmament and all the efforts that have been made and are being made are in the sense of eliminating nuclear weapons".
