President Obama and French President Francois Hollande

French President Francois Hollande: It was poised to be the biggest arms deal ever between a country and Russia. France had a deal worth more than 1 billion euros to deliver a warship to Russia, and given Europes economy and the number of jobs involved, French President Francois Hollande really wanted the deal to go forward. But it did not. President Obama urged Hollande to leave Vladimir Putin isolated and the French president agreed, announcing last week that the warship delivery was off until further notice in light of Russias aggression towards Ukraine.
