On the wires
Some quotes hitting the wires from Le Maire:
- On Juncker/Trump deal, France doesn't want to enter into a wide ranging trade negotiation.
- Agriculture must remain outside of any trade negotiations.
- Non-tariff barriers are non negotiable.
- Access to public procurement markets must be part of any negotiations with the US
- We expect a gesture of goodwill from the US side. Especially on aluminium and steel tariffs.
- Any trade deal with the US must be based on reciprocity.
