If by “conservative” you mean people who believe in the American “Ayn Rand” model of unregulated trade (export manufacturing to China, because it’s best for stockholders; import poisonous food from China, because it’s cheap) and unregulated capitalism no, there is nobody in France who believes in that, and there never will be.

Of course, because France has never believed in unfair trade practices with foreign countries. (stiffled laughter)

“Of course, because France has never believed in unfair trade practices with foreign countries. (stiffled laughter)”

France attempts to practice trade practices that are good for France and the French.

America is practicing trade practices that are bad for American national security, bad for the manufacturing and agricultural sectors, and bad for an increasing number of Americans, but which are very good for an class of international money elites who have no particularly deep loyalty to America.

France’s trade policies have been self-interested.
America’s trade policies favor a class of people that are not perforce Americans, and they have the effect of undermining America itself in the long term.

In other words, France’s trade practices are in France’s self-interest, and are intelligent.
America’s trade practices are suicidal and idiotic.
