French finance minister Le Maire out with some comments

More responses are coming in on the trade front, and it's more or less going to be the same stuff. It's either going to be threats of retaliation or talks of exemption on the tariffs.

If anything, the rhetoric is going to grow stale and the next thing to watch on the trade front for Europe is whether or not Trump will support Peter Navarro on his ongoing stance since last year that "Germany is exploiting its position within the euro-area to gain an advantage". If so, then it is unlikely that Europe will get any exemptions to the tariffs.
