French Finance Minister Criticizes US-EU Trade Tensions
March 14, 2025 - 19:04
France's Finance Minister Eric Lombard has labeled the ongoing trade conflict between the United States and the European Union as "idiotic." His remarks come in response to recent threats from Washington regarding substantial tariffs on French goods, a move that has raised concerns among European leaders. Lombard emphasized the need for dialogue and cooperation instead of escalating trade hostilities that could harm both economies.
In light of these tensions, Lombard announced plans to visit the United States shortly. This trip aims to engage in discussions with US officials about the trade issues at hand and to seek a resolution that benefits both parties. He believes that a constructive approach is essential to avoid further deterioration of relations and to foster a more collaborative trade environment.
The situation remains delicate, with both sides needing to navigate their differences carefully to prevent the imposition of tariffs that could have far-reaching implications for businesses and consumers alike.
