A senior source close to President Macron warned Paris would not back down in its bid to impose huge levies on US tech giants and block American firms from winning lucrative government contracts

PARIS (Reuters) -French President Emmanuel Macron on Wednesday criticised a framework deal struck between the European Union and the United States on Sunday, saying it showed the bloc had not managed to be "feared" by U.

The EU-US trade deal prompted a backlash in Europe on Monday, with France’s Prime Minister François Bayrou saying that the bloc had “resigned itself into submission”.
