Secretary Blinken Says Talks with France Were "Constructive" and "Productive"

Following the final OECD ministerial meeting in Paris, France, Secretary of State responds to a question about U.S. relations with France amid recent tensions and a diplomatic rift over the decision to sell nuclear submarine technology to Australia--something that France had also been negotiating. He says his talks with his French counterparts have been "constructive" and "productive" on a wide range of issues of mutual interest. He also says that National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan will be visiting France to continue the dialogue. close
