France Attacks Trump After Trade Deal

In a major victory for American workers and energy producers, President Donald Trump has struck a powerful new trade agreement with the European Union—sparking outrage among French elites who say the deal puts Europe at the mercy of U.S. economic power.

French Prime Minister François Bayrou slammed the agreement as a humiliating act of “submission” by the EU. Posting on social platform X, Bayrou declared, “It is a dark day when an alliance of free peoples chooses to bow down instead of standing strong for their own interests.”

Trump Secures Energy & Manufacturing Gains for U.S.

The deal, announced by President Trump and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, sets a new 15% tariff on European imports, including autos—far lower than the 30% tariff Trump had originally threatened but significantly higher than what Europe enjoyed under globalist trade policies of the past.

More importantly, the European Union has now committed to purchasing $750 billion in American energy—a historic win for U.S. oil, natural gas, and clean energy producers. In addition, the EU pledged $600 billion in new investments into American goods and services, reinforcing Trump’s “America First” agenda and giving a major boost to U.S. jobs and industry.

French Politicians Lash Out—Demand Retaliation

French President Emmanuel Macron has remained silent, but his inner circle is fuming. Deputy Minister for European Affairs Benjamin Haddad accused the U.S. of “economic coercion” and warned that the post-WWII era of free trade is over. He called on Europe to retaliate by taxing U.S. digital services and limiting American tech access to public contracts.

“The United States is discarding WTO rules and choosing raw economic power,” Haddad posted on X. “If Europe doesn’t respond quickly, we risk being economically irrelevant.”

Another top official, Laurent Saint-Martin, acknowledged that the trade agreement brings some stability but admitted the deal “is not balanced.” He specifically pointed to the massive U.S. trade surplus in digital services, hinting that Europe may move to penalize American tech giants like Google, Amazon, and Meta.

America First: Trump Delivers What Globalists Wouldn’t

While European bureaucrats complain, President Trump’s supporters see this as yet another example of leadership that puts American workers, energy producers, and manufacturers first. For decades, the United States tolerated one-sided trade deals that benefited foreign economies at the expense of Main Street America.

This new agreement, forged under intense pressure from Trump, levels the playing field and forces Europe to finally contribute its fair share—especially when it comes to energy security, foreign investment, and technology access.

Bottom Line: President Trump just delivered a win that will fuel American energy independence, create jobs, and reassert U.S. dominance in global trade. The backlash from French officials? That’s the sound of globalists losing control.
