French President Emmanuel Macron weighed in Saturday on a recent United States Supreme Court decision involving former President Donald Trump’s trade policies, praising the judicial system’s role as a check on executive authority.<\/p>

Speaking at Paris’s annual agricultural exhibition, Macron responded to questions about Friday’s Supreme Court decision that declared certain Trump-era tariffs unconstitutional, saying the ruling demonstrates the value of judicial oversight in democratic nations.<\/p>

“It is not bad to have a Supreme Court and, therefore, the rule of law,” Macron stated during the agricultural event. “It is good to have power and counterweights to power in democracies.”<\/p>

The French leader’s comments came after the high court determined that tariffs Trump had implemented using emergency economic powers violated federal law.<\/p>

Macron also addressed how France plans to respond to Trump’s proposed 10% universal tariff, stating his country will evaluate the impact and adjust accordingly while continuing to promote French exports across multiple sectors, including farm products, luxury items, fashion, and aerospace manufacturing.<\/p>

The president emphasized the need for measured responses and advocated for “reciprocity” as the most equitable approach, rather than accepting “unilateral decisions” from other nations.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
