French President Says Australian PM Lies Over Submarine Deal
French President Emmanuel Macron, during the G20 summit, said that Australian PM Scott Morrison lied to him over the cancellation of a submarine contract. Reportedly, Australia had to scrap the multi-million dollar project over security issues with the United States in September. However, Morrison denied these accusations, and said in a press conference, that he had explained to Macron that conventional submarines would no longer meet Australia's needs.
