French Prime Minister Francois Bayrou said Thursday that the sweeping new tariffs announced by US President Donald Trump were a “catastrophe” both for Europe and the United States.
“This decision is a catastrophe for the economic world,” Bayrou said. “It is an immense difficulty for Europe. I believe that it is also a catastrophe for the United States and for American citizens.”
