Macron Calls US Tariff Suspension 'Fragile Pause' Amid Ongoing Economic Strain

French President Emmanuel Macron has labeled President Donald Trump's recent 90-day suspension of tariffs as a 'fragile pause', emphasizing that significant tariffs on steel, aluminum, and automobiles remain in place, affecting the EU economy by 52 billion euros. Macron stated that while the suspension offers a chance for negotiations, it also creates uncertainty for businesses on both sides of the Atlantic. He underscored the importance of presenting a united front within the EU to negotiate the removal of these tariffs. Trump's customs offensive aims to repatriate industrial production in the U.S., despite acknowledging potential costs and market disruptions. The situation has led to financial market declines, reflecting concerns over the ongoing trade tensions and uncertainty. Macron's comments highlight the delicate balance in transatlantic trade relations amid these developments.
