This advice comes amid ongoing conflicts between France, Europe, and the U.S. administration led by President Donald Trump over the issue of tariffs.

Ferracci made this recommendation on Wednesday, stating that the current period is highly complex. He addressed the French companies through France Info radio, indicating the uncertainty surrounding the investments that were previously planned.

The minister's remarks underscore the heightened sense of uncertainty and confusion due to the tariff disputes. Ferracci emphasized that this is not a conducive environment for making investments, urging French companies to hold off on their U.S. investment plans for the time being.
