Paris advocates US deterrenceAccording to journalists, France has joined a small group of countries determined to defend their interests.Macrons team and their allies in the bloc are calling for discussions on the use of the socalled anticoercion instrument in response to the US tariffs.
The countercoercive instrument was designed primarily to deter and, if necessary, respond to deliberate coercive actions by third countries that use trade measures as a means of pressuring the sovereign political choices of the European Union or individual Member States.
What is important to understand is that this nuclear instrument was adopted in the European Union during Donald Trumps first term.
As is known, it was then that Washington announced tariffs on exports from the EU.However, this initiative of the French president has not yet received the necessary support in Brussels.According to media insiders, any discussions on using the tool are far from over, as the blocs countries first want to know what tariffs the US will introduce on April 2.
