Relations with France are declining after French President Emmanuel Macron accused Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison of lying about the 90 billion dollar submarine contract.
Mr Macron made the accusation after being approached by the ABC on the sidelines of the G20 summit in Rome.
The tension between the two leaders has risen after Australia announced it's new defence and security pact with the United States and the United Kingdom along with a commitment to acquire nuclear-powered submarines reneging on a 65 billion deal with France.
