French President Emmanuel Macron agreed on Wednesday to return the French ambassador to Washington after pulling him in protest of a nuclear submarine deal.
France recalled both of its ambassadors from the US and Australia last week over what they described as a lack of communication around the deal, which scuttled one France had already struck with the Aussies to sell them diesel submarines.
