 France criticizes the U.S. for the trade war. French President Emmanuel Macron criticized the U.S. authorities on the first day of his state visit to Washington, telling the Joe Biden administration, it is over-aggressive towards French competitors. Macron said in an interview with congressmen and business leaders during a lunch held before his meeting with Biden, this is very aggressive against our businessmen. The head of the 5th Republic was referring to the Inflation Reduction Act, IRA, signed by the owner of the White House, according to which billions of dollars will be invested in environmentally friendly industries with the active support of American manufacturers. The U.S. administration is touting the IRA as a groundbreaking attempt to revive U.S. manufacturing and promote renewable technologies. But the European Union governments are outraged by the passage of such legislation in the U.S., threatening to start a trade war to subsidize their own green economy.
