Macron's "power": response to US tariffs will be bigger than ever

On April 3rd, French President Emmanuel Macron met with French business leaders affected by Trump's "Liberation Day" tariffs and delivered a speech. He said that France's response to the US tariffs will be "on a larger scale" than the previous retaliation against US steel and aluminum tariffs. Europe must respond to the tariffs on an industry-by-industry basis, calling on companies to suspend investment in the United States. If Europeans respond together, they will be able to successfully dismantle the US tariff policy. In response to the US tariffs, we are ready for everything. We do not rule out the use of European Union anti-coercion tools against the United States. All tools to deal with US tariffs are under consideration. In addition, Macron also said that the US judgment is correct, but tariffs are not the right answer, and Western economies need to improve productivity. Trump's tariffs are "cruel and baseless" and a shock to international trade.
