EU-US trade deal has merits but is unbalanced, French ministers say

Investing.com -- French government ministers stated that the framework trade deal between the United States and European Union contains some positive elements but remains unbalanced overall.

The agreement includes exemptions for key French business sectors such as spirits, which ministers acknowledged as beneficial aspects of the deal.

French European Affairs Minister Benjamin Haddad expressed his concerns about the agreement on social media platform X on Monday.

"The trade agreement negotiated by the European Commission with the United States will bring temporary stability to economic actors threatened by the escalation of American tariffs, but it is unbalanced," Haddad wrote.
