France is considering retaliatory measures against US tech companies following Trump's tariff threats. The US claims the EU's Digital Services Act and Digital Markets Act unfairly target American companies. While the EU initially avoided a trade war, France, led by Macron, wants a stronger response. Macron plans to discuss this with German Chancellor Merz, expressing dissatisfaction with the recent US-EU trade deal and believing Europe should have been more assertive.
