France wanted to activate the Anti-Coercion Instrument immediatly after the 30% tariffs were announced. The law was passed after the first Trump presidency supposedly to prevent Europe being pressured into the kind of situation Von Der Leyen voluntarily put us in. It's a set of retaliatory measures which can be taken very quickly: blocking the ability of a country's companies to bid for some European contracts, suspending technological transfer, relaxing IP law. Anyway, as long as the PPE will be in charge and the comission is staffed with German rejects, the Union will go nowhere. European only have what they deserved. I'm just sad my country is dragged down with the sinking ship.
