Tariffs imposed by powerful nations a form of blackmail: Macron
French President Emmanuel Macron said that barriers and tariffs are instruments devised by stronger countries for blackmail, rather than tools to rebalance trade. "Bringing back a trade war and tariffs at this moment in...life of...planet is an aberration, especially when I see the tariffs that are being imposed on countries that are just beginning their economic takeoff," Macron added.
