After Macron accused Mr. Morrison of lying to him about canceling the submarine contract, Morrison was accused of sending a private text message with Macron to show that Macron knew about the cancellation of the submarine contract in advance. Subsequently, French officials expressed anger at Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison's decision to leak the content of a private text message between him and French President Emmanuel Macron, and the French presidential adviser said that the trust had been broken.
