US President Joe Biden on Friday admitted that his administration was "clumsy" in its handling of the deal that deprived France of billions in defence contracts.The comment came during of a closely watched meeting with his French counterpart, Emmanuel Macron, in Rome, meant to repair fractured ties after a rift over an agreement to provide Australia with submarines."I was under the impression that France had been informed long before that the deal was not going through, honest to God," Mr Biden said on Friday, sitting alongside Mr Macron in the French Embassy to the Holy See.
