Macron replied to Johnson that he would wait to see the British Prime Minister's proposals, added Macron's office.

Earlier in September, France recalled its ambassadors from the United States and Australia, after the United States and Britain signed a nuclear submarines deal with Australia, causing Australia to scrap a previous $40 billion French-designed submarine deal.
