French President Emmanuel Jean-Michel Frédéric Macron left the U.S. feeling defeated last week after meetings with President Trump to discuss future tariffs.
The French president said that he believes there are misunderstandings and design problems in the approach proposed by the Trump Administration.
Two days after their visit, President Trump proposed plans for a 25% tariff on all imports from the European Union. The European Commission said that it will react firmly against what it believes to be unjustified barriers to free and fair trade.
