The XYZ Affair was an incident in 1798, during a period when French privateers were regularly seizing U.S. merchant ships, and that precipitated an undeclared war between the US and France . President John Adams sent emissaries to France to negotiate . They were met by three French agents who identified themselves as X,Y and Z and demanded a substantial bribe for access to the French foreign minister. The Americans were outraged.
The Frech Minister of Foreign Affairs was Aristide Briand?

The Frech Minister of Foreign Affairs was Aristide Briand?
Yes.
I believe it was the French President Nicolas Sarkozy. Or perhaps his Foreign Affairs minister Bernard Kouchner.
The Count of Vergennes -Apex ;)
In 1789, when President Adams sent diplomats to Paris to discuss the rights of neutrals during the French and British war.. The French foreign minister himself would not deal directly with the Americans so he sent three French agents to offer the Americans a deal. The deal was that the Americans had to pay a great deal of money in order for French to avoid seizing American ships. The reason its called the X Y Z Affair is because Adams did not reveal the 3 agent's names.
