French President Emmanuel Macron will request the activation of the European Union’s anti-coercion instrument after US President Donald Trump announced new tariffs on European countries over Greenland.
Macron, who on Saturday branded the threat of tariffs “unacceptable,” was in contact with European counterparts and would make the request on behalf of France, according to a person close to the president who requested anonymity to comply with government rules.
If Macron’s party wants to help him with that, they should listen to what Cory Doctorow said at 39C3 about the best way to retaliate against the tariffs: legalizing the reverse-engineering of US tech.
