French President Emmanuel Macron described the tariffs announced late last night by US President Donald Trump as "brutal and unjustified", Reuters and Agence France-Presse reported, quoted by BTA.
Macron warned that the tariffs could cause a shock to global trade, calling on Europe to respond "sector by sector".
At a meeting with representatives of French industry, Macron added that the response to the reciprocal tariffs would be "more massive" than the response given to the previously announced US tariffs on steel and aluminum.
