Immediately after the announcement, French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian called for a move behind the French backs "stabbing an ally in the back," and France also announced the cancellation of a glittering gala event scheduled to take place at the French embassy in Washington to mark the 240th anniversary of the Battle of Chesapeake , One of the famous battles of the American Revolutionary War, in which France actually paved the way for the victory of the colonies against the British Crown.
