France Seeks EU Anti-Coercion Measures After Trump’s Tariff Announcement

Emmanuel Macron will request the European Union activate its anti-coercion instrument in response to former U.S. President Donald Trump's planned 10% tariff on goods from eight European nations, including France. The tariffs, set to take effect February 1, were condemned by Macron as "unacceptable" during weekend discussions with EU counterparts.

Trade tensions escalated after TRUMP linked potential tariff increases to 25% by June unless Greenland is purchased—a demand that jeopardizes last year's EU-U.S. trade agreement. Parliamentary ratification now appears unlikely as EU ambassadors prepare an emergency Sunday meeting to coordinate their response.
