Emergency Talks Amidst Tariff Tensions

French President Emmanuel Macron has taken swift action by calling for an emergency meeting at the Elysee Palace. This decisive move comes in response to the recent imposition of new tariffs by the United States, which have sent shockwaves through key French industries.

The Impact of US Tariffs

Following President Donald Trump's announcement, a 10% minimum tariff on most imports and a steeper 20% rate specifically targeting European Union goods have been implemented. The French wine and spirits sector, among others, is bracing for significant impact, with the Federation of Wine and Spirits Exporters (FEVS) projecting a potential 20% drop in US sales.
