France Vows Retaliatory Measures Against Trump Tariffs: 'The Time Has Come'

France has vowed to respond to U.S. President Donald Trump's new tariffs on metal imports into the United States, reviving the transatlantic trade dispute that took place during Trump's first term.

Why It Matters
The warning suggests that the European Union may have a forceful response to Trump's incoming measures, and it is likely to stoke existing fears over an imminent "tariff war" between the U.S. and the critical trading bloc.

Retaliatory tariffs could raise the price of steel and aluminum domestically and increase the cost of goods commonly exported to Europe from the U.S.—including oil and gas, pharmaceuticals, and manufacturing equipment.

Nothing like the French cutting off their nose to spite their face! They need much of what America produces-- particularly oil and gas.

And putting Tariffs on that would go well with how they like to have everything too expensive anyway. So i think they are blessing themselves by raising the rent on its citizens. Ok, so that was joke for -- The EU has socialism lite. So mind as well do more of the same with our goods coming into the country. I'd think the French are right at home with tariffing US imports. They might not even notice. Me thinks. Yeah...still tongue in cheek. Its hard for me to stop. Thanks for your post though pastor. I think all in all, we will start to see just how blessed God has made the US...we have been pulling the wool over our eyes for so many years...we probably have an identity crisis to wake up from. That would be awesome if like a sense of old school American sentiment were allowed to touch the world and us again. Precious thought. Blessings.
