| Occupation | Diplomat |
Philippe Noël Marie Marc Étienne (born 24 December 1955) is a French diplomat who served as Ambassador of France to the United States from 2019 to 2023. He previously served as chief diplomatic adviser to the President of France, Emmanuel Macron, from 2017 to 2019. Étienne was nominated as Ambassador to the United States effective 30 May 2019.
In response to the AUKUS agreement, he was recalled to France in September 2021. The measure was unprecedented; in almost 250 years of diplomatic relations, France had never before recalled its US ambassadorship.[1] The Biden administration tried to placate French anger.[2] Jean-Pierre Thébault, the French Ambassador to Australia, was also recalled.
