US, UK talks come amid tension with allies
Issued on:
US President Joe Biden and British Prime Minister Boris #Johnson on Tuesday discussed the dangers of climate change and bantered about the joys of rail travel during an Oval Office meeting aimed at underscoring the US-British alliance. The meeting comes amid a US rift with EU ally France, in which Britain played a crucial part. A submarine deal the United States and Britain recently announced with Australia came at France's expense, prompting France to withdraw its ambassadors to the United States and Australia and cancel a defense meeting with Britain.
