French President Emmanuel Macron told “Fox News Sunday” that he hopes President Donald Trump won’t impose new tariffs on aluminum and steel for the European Union, a key U.S. ally.
“When the president announced new tariffs on aluminum and steel for the European Union, you said, we will not negotiate with a gun pointed at her head. There is now a May 1st deadline. Who is going to blink, President Trump or you?” Fox News host Chris Wallace asked.
“I hope — I mean, he will not implement these new tariffs and he will decide for an exemption for the European Union. You don’t make trade war with your ally,” Macron said. […]
“I’m very — I’m an easy guy. I’m very simple. I’m straightforward. It’s too complicated — if you make war against everybody. You make trade war against China, trade war against Europe, war in Syria, war against Iran — come on, it doesn’t work. You need ally. We are the ally,” he said. …

“So the EU has been “mak(ing) trade war” against the USA for how long, now? “
How about “right after the end of WWII!”
Our Ally? Does he mean that we give the money and send the troops, and they do nothing in return except drag us into wars on the wrong side?
Yes, we should be allies. But like trade, that has to go two ways.
The BBC tried to say Macron is a Trump Whisper and will control Trump ,LOL
In other words: We Euroweenies will trade war against you but you had better not do the same to us.
Hey, France! Germany kicked your cheese-eating surrender-monkey asses twice!
and Allies don’t make UNFAIR trade deals, Macaroni Boy.
Sounds about right.
But you do scrap unfair trade agreements- and if they are really our ‘ally’ then why have they been screwing us for decades.
BINGO! An ally like you wouldn’t want us to let you take advantage of us, anymore, would you, Macron?
Nor do allies become blood sucking leeches!
Is this the same France that doesn’t allow overflights by US military aircraft on their way to the crusades?
We are in a trade war already.
We saved your asses twice and fought at your proxies more than once.
Pay up...
Is the EU a key US ally? I’m not sure about that at all.
“Sounds about right.”
Yeah, and we set up and funded the Marshall Plan to put the ungrateful bastards back in business, supplied a standing army to protect them to this day, which allowed them to fund the welfare state on our dime, and the thanks we get from the lot of them is having them f*ck us on trade!
Macron is a tool of the swamp
bad news
Europe is no longer our ally.
Funny. My immediate reaction was that you don’t ask a friend to take it up the backside...to state nothing about griping about that friend later protesting or responding in-kind.
Any idiot knows that if you want to know who your true friends are, give them an inch; friends will give you back 2.
Trump farts in your general direction...
You also shouldn’t rip off your friends.
What’s an EU? Never heard of her.
