On July 13, French President Macron stated that France shares the same position as the President of the European Commission and "strongly" opposes the United States' announcement of a comprehensive 30% tariff on goods exported from the EU, effective August 1. This statement was released after the European Commission had engaged in intensive negotiations with the United States over the past few weeks, during which it put forward solid proposals in good faith. Based on European solidarity, the European Commission needs to firmly defend the EU's interests. This especially means that if an agreement cannot be reached before August 1, it is necessary to accelerate the preparation of credible countermeasures and mobilize all available means, including the Anti-Coercion Instrument. On this basis, France will fully support the European Commission's position in the negotiations. Negotiations will be further intensified in order to reach a mutually acceptable agreement before August 1, reflecting the mutual respect that the EU and the United States should have as trading partners, and safeguarding their common interests and close value chains.
