France’s President Emmanuel Macron slammed the US move to impose tariffs on steel and aluminum imports from Canada, Mexico and the European Union, calling the decision “unlawful” and a “mistake.”



The decision on tariffs made by the US President Donald Trump closed doors to the talks with Washington on other issues, Macron said as cited by Reuters.


“This decision is not only unlawful but it is a mistake in many respects,” Macron said. “Economic nationalism leads to war.”


The French president also announced telephone talks with his US counterpart, expected to take place later on Thursday.
