French EU official bemoans 'broken' US relations
By EUobserver
France's EU commissioner, single-market chief Thierry Breton, said in the US Tuesday that "there is a growing feeling in Europe - and I say this with regret - that something is broken in our transatlantic relations ... It is probably time to pause and reset our EU-US relationship". He spoke after France felt betrayed over an Australia-UK-US defence pact which led to Australia cancelling a multi-billion euro French defence contract.
