FRANCE PLANS NEW DEAL WITH TRUMP:
With Trump’s July 9 trade deadline looming - and threats of more tariffs hanging in the air - France is pumping the brakes.
Finance Minister Eric Lombard says Paris wants a real deal with Washington, not a rushed agreement that sells Europe short on cars, pharma, and energy.
EU leaders are increasingly resigned to a 10% “baseline tariff” but aren’t ready to fold.
Macron says France is open to more U.S. gas imports - but not at the cost of giving up leverage.
