Australia’s recent cancellation of a 90 billion dollar conventional submarine deal has drawn condemnation from France.

The cancellation has come in the wake of the new AUKUS pact. 

France’s Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian has said the cancellation of the 2016 deal is a ‘stab in the back’.
Australian Foreign Minister Peter Dutton has said he doesn’t make any apologies for a decision that's in the country's best interest.
