The two leaders’ talks, which focused on the conflict in Ukraine, come as Trump threatens allies and adversaries alike with fresh tariffs, sparking a flurry of negotiations.
But he issued a last-minute halt to the levies for a month as talks continued.
“The tariffs are going forward on time, on schedule,“ Trump told a press conference on Monday.
She expressed optimism about reaching a deal with Trump, hinting at potential levies on Chinese goods to secure an agreement.
Separately, Canadian Foreign Minister Melanie Joly told reporters Monday that “the threat of tariffs is a real one, and may continue for a while.”
He added: “If somebody charges us, we charge them.”
While Trump has placed emphasis on trade in goods, Macron pointed out the United States is a major exporter in digital products.
Apart from blanket duties on major US trading partners Canada and Mexico, Trump has launched plans for “reciprocal tariffs” that would be tailored to each country, with details to come at a later time.
“Come on. You cannot have a trade war with China and Europe at the same time,“ Macron said, adding that he hoped he convinced Trump as much.
“The transatlantic relation is at a very important moment and the top priority is to work together very closely, to have a good, solid and sustainable peace in full transparency,“ he said.
