Macron said that following a new administration in the United States, it is more important than ever for the European people and our two countries to play their role in strengthening a united, strong and sovereign Europe. Trump has also threatened to impose heavy tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China. He said Europe was running a troubling trade surplus with the United States. Trump told reporters at the White House that the European Union is very, very bad for us. So they are going to be covered under the tariff. It’s the only way… you’ll get fairness.
French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz have met in Paris to discuss Ukraine and economic issues. The meeting of the two leaders is being considered part of an effort to respond with one voice to US President Donald Trump’s tariff threats. French President Emmanuel Macron said Europeans, including France and Germany, must defend their sovereignty more than ever in the face of US President Donald Trump’s return. He made the remarks at a joint press conference with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz in Paris and said it was important to support automobile, steel, chemical sectors and other sectors.

Many EU countries have export-oriented economies. Already facing high energy costs due to the war in Ukraine and a slowdown in trade with China, they do not like the idea of a new front with the US. But there is little consensus in the EU on how to respond. Neither Europe nor the United States has any interest in an escalating trade war, French government spokeswoman Sophie Primas told reporters.
