WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden on Thursday acknowledged “glitches” in America’s clean energy law that have raised concerns in Europe, but said “there’s tweaks we can make” to satisfy allies.
Biden, who is honoring French President Emmanuel Macron with the first state dinner of his presidency on Thursday evening, said at a joint news conference that he and the French president spoke a “a good deal” about European concerns over his signature climate change law during an Oval Office meeting.
Macron has made clear that he and other European leaders are concerned about incentives in the new law, known as the Inflation Reduction Act, that favor American-made climate technology, including electric vehicles.
As for the Inflation Reduction Act, the European Union has also expressed concern that tax credits, including those aimed at encouraging Americans to buy electric vehicles, would discriminate against European producers and break World Trade Organization rules.
Biden administration officials have countered that the legislation goes a long way in helping the U.S. to meet global goals to curb climate change.

Don’t worry Macron. Americans aren’t really looking to drive electric cars. This country is not ready for it because we can’t power these things with windmills and solar panels.
Any bill titled The Inflation Reduction Act should have nothing to do with cars.
I’m sorry, are we not killing ourselves fast enough for the Eurowenies in our Climate Change Suicide Pact?
🙄
🔝🔝🔝
There was a time when the American president wouldn’t take any crap from Eurotrash.
Time to vote every dem-o-rat out of his/her office.
