The French leader warned that US “threats” and “intimidation” were not over and urged against complacency, in an interview with several European publications including France’sAhead of an EU meeting on competitiveness this week, he advocated for “simplifying” and “deepening the EU’s single market”, and for “diversifying” trade partnerships.US President Donald Trump last month threatened to annex the autonomous Danish territory of Greenland and impose tariffs on any European countries that opposed him, but then performed a U-turn. “There are threats and intimidation. And then, suddenly, Washington backs down. And we think it’s over. But don’t believe it for a second. Every day, there are threats against pharmaceuticals, digital technology...” he said.“We tried this strategy for months, and it’s not working. But above all, it strategically leads Europe to increase its dependence.” He said the European Union’s public and private investment needed around €1.2 trillion per year, including green and digital technologies, defence and security. And he renewed his call for common European debt, an idea France has championed for years, but other countries have rejected.
