“The damage that the Biden administration has brought to US-France ties is much bigger than all the damage combined in Trump's term. This proves that whether 'America First' or 'America is back,' they are just different measures serving the same goal of US hegemony. Biden's pledge to fix ties with allies is not the purpose, it is a measure to make the US regain leadership. In the case of the AUKUS submarine deal, Biden's diplomatic approach is just like another version of Trump's America First. As long as it's in the interest of the US, they can betray anyone, even an ally like France.”
