Summary/Abstract: In this article, the author analyzed the key issues from the field of the international security in French and American relations, limiting the area of analysis to the press commentaries and publicism in three French periodicals: Le Figaro”, „Le Monde” and „Liberation”. The time frameworks were also limited and the period of 2007-2010 was only taken into consideration. These periodicals represent three political fractions: the left -wing – :Liberation”;, Centralwing: “Le Monde”; and Central-Right wing: “Le Figaro”. Since they all have different orientations, it was necessary to us the comparative analysis while discussing the particular matters. The attention was mainly paid to the three important issues for reorientation of the French-American relations during the time of N. Sarkozy and B. Obama’s governments. These were: the moment of France’s return to NATO, reaching the positive cooperation in Afghanistan as well as ceasing the conflict ict as to the Iraq’s issue.
