Macron: Europe’s response to Trump is not strong
Emmanuel Macron, the President of France, criticized the new trade agreement between the United States and the European Union, stating that the EU has not been sufficiently strong and intimidating in response to the policies of Donald Trump, the President of the United States.
According to Reuters, he commented on the agreement reached on Saturday between the US and the EU, saying that to be free, you need to be intimidating.
We, the European Union, have not been intimidating enough.
The aim of this trade agreement has been announced as preventing the start of a trade war and reducing tariffs between the two traditional partners.
However, Macron described this agreement as merely a first step in the path of negotiations and emphasized that talks must continue.
Reuters also reported, citing informed sources, that the President of France has called for an acceleration in advancing the European agenda, particularly in the areas of sovereignty and competitiveness.
