French FinMin Le Maire: Expect a gesture of goodwill from the US side on metals tariffs

French Finance Minister Le Maire was on the wires last minutes, via Reuters, commenting on the EU-US trade deal reached late-Wednesday. Key Headlines: France doesn't want to enter into a wide-ranging trade negotiation. Agriculture must remain outside of any trade negotiations. Non-tariff barriers are non-negotiable. Access to public procurement markets must be part of any negotiations with the US. We expect a gesture of goodwill from the US side. Especially on aluminum and steel tariffs. Any trade deal with the US must be based on reciprocity.
