Macron calls on Europe to stop investing in the US after Trump tariff shock
ai generated text
French President Emmanuel Macron has called for a suspension of new and recently announced investments in the United States until trade tariffs are clarified. This move is in response to the US imposing a 20% tariff on EU goods, which Macron describes as "brutal and unfounded."
Europe holds a lot of cards, from trade to technology to the size of our market.
We have always been ready to negotiate with the US, to remove any remaining barriers to transatlantic trade.
We will continue to push for a just distribution of wealth, for environmental sustainability and for equality between men and women. We will keep working for European integration, we will keep defending multilateralism, we will keep opening ourselves to the world, and we will keep looking for partners who respect our interests and who also share our values.
Our response will only be good enough if it is unified.
If the Europeans show unity, they will be able to advance from a position of strength in the negotiations which will open.
Investments to come or investments announced in recent weeks should be suspended until things are clarified with the United States.
What would be the message of having big European players that invest billions in the American economy at the same time they are hitting us?
We do not favour a digital services tax.
If EU manages to reform while others either are banned from global trade or isolate themselves from global trade – then Europe will be a winner. The world needs and deserves a European renaissance. Sweden will do our part of it.
