PARIS: The storm caused by US President Donald Trump's tariffs has shuttered trust around the world, French Prime Minister Francois Bayrou said on Tuesday, warning that France faced a moment of truth in terms of fixing its public finances.
"The fact that this power has gone over to the side of the aggressors is a dramatic turn of events, a warning shot that ruins our fundamental vision of the world," Bayrou said.
He added that in his view Trump had created "a tsunami of destabilisation."
Bayrou made the comments at a news conference to discuss France's 2026 budget plans.
