France's ambassador to the US continues to fume about being left in the dark about a new security arrangement between the US, Britain, and Australia – saying Monday after being recalled to Paris that France 'absolutely' wasn't informed in advance.   

'As soon as we learned Wednesday morning (of the deal), I demanded to be seen, I was seen,” by the White House, Ambassador Philippe Etienne told French radio station RTL Monday from Paris.
