North Africa policy shifts as supply shipments waver
As the tankers leave American ports, officials signal restraint on more cargo to French North Africa. If Germany gains control of French colonies or vetoes Allied passage, no further shipments will be allowed through the British blockade. Weygand seeks to keep colonies within the French empire and negotiates with Washington and London to restore trade with US ports.
