Frances Counter - measures against EU Electric Vehicle Tariffs: Brandy Faces Temporary Anti - dumping, and the Shadow of a Trade War Shrouds Europe
The French government expressed strong dissatisfaction with Chinas temporary anti - dumping measures on brandy, calling it unacceptable. This shift in stance highlights the complex situation within the EU regarding trade policies towards China. Sophie Primas, the deputy minister of the French Ministry of Trade, plans to visit China to oppose this purely political stance. This move comes during the US presidential election, making the trade disputes even more complex. The EUs additional tariffs on China not only affect the electric vehicle industry but also other high - value French export products.
