The president of France, Emmanuel Macron, said this Wednesday, 2, that he cannot support Mercosur’s proposed agreement with the European Union, because it would be harmful to French domestic production, especially agriculture and local industry.
“The United States and China take measures to protect their domestic economy, we are doing the same thing,” he said, during a Berlin Global Dialogue panel mediated by Bloomberg.
According to the president of the European country, his government’s number one priority is to boost activity, and an agreement with Mercosur would harm France’s growth goals.
