 French President Emmanuel Macron says Australia's court Morrison lied to him about a scrapped submarine deal and Mr Macron was furious after Australia cancelled the $37 billion deal to build 12 submarines and instead negotiated a new defence pact for the US and the UK, the so-called AUKUS. And Mr Morrison denies that he was dishonest. The pair met at the G20 summit in Rome for the first time since the row erupted in September. On the sidelines of the gathering, President Macron was asked by an Australian journalist whether he could trust Morrison again.
