Maybe the French should stop blocking free trade deals with the US, so these issues wouldn't come up.

Maybe the EU shouldn't have blocked free trade deals with the US for over two decades. Rules on substities and arbitration of trade issues are built into these trade deals. Now the EU protectionists are getting a taste of their own medicine.

Countries like France have blocked every proposed US-EU free trade deal for decades because they don't want to compete with American industries. Trade deals have rules on substities and arbitration rules for trade disputes.

@xyris1208 That is BS. The EU is a giant protectionist bloc, while the US kept pushing for free trade deal. When Trump took office, he evened the playing field by putting tariffs on the EU like Europe has done to America for decades. EU can't have their cake and eat it too.

EU protectionist has blocked a free trade deal with the US for decades, so they are on the same playing field as China.

Because the Cuban and North Korean economies are such doing so well?

@barmybarmecide5390 The US only became anti-free trade in 2016, so they stop insisting the EU agree to a deal. For the decades prior, it was the EU protectionism that prevented a deal. There are other protectionist besides France, but they are certainly the loudest. Also, Macron asking Biden for special treatment is embarrassingly hypocritical.
