Following the imposition of new tariffs by President Trump, French President Emmanuel Macron called for a coordinated European response, emphasizing the need for unity among EU nations. He warned that the tariffs could leave Americans 'weaker and poorer' and would have serious consequences for Europe’s economy. Macron proposed a two-stage response to U.S. tariffs, the first addressing existing levies on steel and aluminum, and the second targeting the new tariffs. Business leaders echoed his sentiments, highlighting the urgency of simplifying business relations within Europe.
"Future investments, investments announced in the last weeks, should be suspended for a time for as long as the situation with the United States is not clarified."
"Macron predicted Americans will be 'weaker and poorer' after Trump's tariff announcement, which he described as 'brutal and unfounded' and which would have a 'massive impact' on the European economy."
