Apr 3

French President Emmanuel Macron on Thursday called for a suspension of investment in the United States until Donald Trump's "brutal and unfounded" new tariffs against Europe and the rest of the world were clarified.
...
"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 told a meeting of French companies also attended by French ministers and Prime Minister Francois Bayrou.
...
Echoing Macron's call, business group France Industrie, which represents dozens of major companies, said French manufacturers affected by US tariffs should consider firing back one way or another, including by suspending investment projects in the US.

"To negotiate from a position of strength, we have to be ready to use all the levers at our disposal," said the group's president, Alexandre Saubot.
