France Strongly Opposes US-EU Trade Deal: PM Labels It ‘A Black Day for the EU’

France has voiced strong opposition to the proposed US-EU trade deal, with the Prime Minister describing the development as “a black day for the EU.” The disagreement centers around concerns that the deal may undermine European standards and sovereignty.

Critics argue that the trade agreement could lead to increased competition from US companies, potentially threatening European industries and regulatory frameworks. The French government is particularly concerned about agricultural and environmental standards.

The controversy highlights the broader debate within the European Union about balancing economic integration with protecting national interests. As discussions continue, the French Prime Minister’s statement reflects the growing tension and divergent viewpoints among EU member states regarding the future of transatlantic trade relations.
