PARIS - Vice President Kamala Harris arrived in Paris on Tuesday to embark on a four-day trip aimed at strengthening relations with America’s oldest ally.
U.S. relations with France hit a historic low this year after a secret U.S.-British submarine deal with Australia scuttled a French deal to sell submarines to Australia.
In late October, President Joe Biden told French President Emmanuel Macron the U.S. had been "clumsy" in its handling of the submarine deal with Australia.
The move by the U.S. undercut a more than $60 billion deal by a French defense contractor to sell diesel-powered subs to the Australian navy.
