Criticism in France and Germany of trade deal with US: 'Economic fiasco'

|
The opposition in France sharply criticized the trade agreement between the US and the European Union, which includes a 15% tariff on goods entering the US and significant purchases of American energy and military equipment by the Union. The head of the far-right 'National Front' party, Marine Le Pen, said it was a "political, economic and moral fiasco," while the secretary-general of the Socialist Party called it a "permanent" agreement. Meanwhile, the "Federation of German Industry" (BDI) warned that the agreement "will have significantly negative implications for industry in Germany."
