The french have a reason to be upset. Biden announced this without given them a chance to adjust to changing circumstances. He did it in the manner he did, because he didn't want it leaked out over time and undermining his announcement, which will surely help his approval rating as being tough on China. This makes the french look stupid and out of the loop. It certainly doesn't make them look like a respected ally. The deal itself, they can't complain. Australia is below china and if giving them nuclear subs is the right to do for national security, it's the right thing to do.
