French officials: The uncertainty of US tariff policies will drag down investment in the United States.
The Secretary General of the French Investment Bureau, Bruno Bonnell, recently told the French media that the uncertainty caused by the current US government's tariff policies will ultimately drag down global investment in the United States. Agence France-Presse quoted Bonnell as saying, "The decisions made by the US government are completely unpredictable and uncertain," and the uncertainty brought by the Trump administration will put pressure on businesses, leading to a cooling of French investment in the US. Recently, French Minister of Economy and Finance, Bruno Le Maire, emphasized that "European politics and regulations are stable, with a relatively sound legal system" when discussing the current US government's practice of imposing high tariffs to force companies to invest in the US. Christine Lagarde, the President of the European Central Bank, said in an interview with the French Sunday newspaper, Le Forum, "We see the challenges to the rule of law, court system, and trade rules in the United States, and uncertainty persists." World Trade Organization Director-General Roberto Azevdo said on 13th in Tokyo, Japan that the US tariff measures pose a challenge to global trade.
