Macron Fox Interview | After Meeting With Trump, Macron Says Increasing Tariffs Not the Solution French President Emmanuel Macron said he hoped he had convinced President Donald Trump to avoid a possible trade war with multiple countries during an interview with Fox News. Macron emphasized that increasing tariffs was not the "solution in this very moment" and said the priority should be to increase defense and security expenditure. "We don't need a trade war," Marcon said. "We need more prosperity together." Earlier in the day, Trump said that his tariffs on Canada and Mexico would start next month, ending a monthlong suspension on the planned import taxes that could potentially hurt economic growth and worsen inflation.
