 Lt. Gen. Stephen Witting mentioned that the US Space Force and French Space Command conducted close maneuvers near a “competitor” satellite.

“And one example of that that I’m proud to announce here for the first time is that the US and France recently conducted our first ever bilateral rendezvous and proximity operation to demonstrate combined capabilities in space in the vicinity of a strategic competitor spacecraft,” he said. “And let me tip my cap to Maj. Gen. Philippe Adam and his team at the French Space Command for their professionalism and can-do spirit.”

Any idea which Satellites this could be?

This could verry well be a part of exercise Zulu Kepler 25 of the MNF-OOD. This was from 10-13 Feb 2025 so it could qualifie as "recent".
