The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Unfortunately, you did not specify the time in history you are talking about. There are also no options attached.
However, trying to help you we can say the following,
You are probably talking about the help the French government offered to the United States during the Revolutionary War of Independence against the British troops. If this is the case, then Americans pursue an independent course for peace, instead of working with the French because the American colonists preferred to negotiate peace and the signing of a treaty on their own terms.
That is why the colonist's leaders decided to send three prominent Americans to France, to negotiate the Treaty of Paris. and formally end the Revolutionary War.
These three men were John Jay, Benjamin Franklin, and John Adams.
