Trump will probably urge American companies to stop investing in France in return. Trump and Erdogan can make a good deal in which these investments are shifted to Turkey instead. Turkey already has a lower tariff rate than France, according to Trump’s list, and a Trump skyscraper in Istanbul would be cool. Also, more American cars on the streets.
Seems a rather redundant recommendation. Who in their right mind would invest into that cluster fuck?

He doesn’t need to warn them. Investments and instability don’t get along…

My guess is an intended recipient of this is TotalEnergie’s Patrick Pouyanné, who has been musing, in public and over the last 12 months, with the idea of moving his company quotation from Paris stock exchange to New York.

If it’s decisions on investments being made now, then yes. I wouldn’t relocate anything, all these tariffs could and will change quite quickly.
Much better to have a focused approach on defence and government/IT contracts and trying to buy local rather than tariff everything, especially if it end up at our detriment.
Time for cool heads.

I guess I am a sceptic – but I don’t believe that US will suffer more losses than the rest. They have such dominance now that they will likely survive this shitshow better than most.
Most companies will buckle – they have a fiduciary responsibility. They have to do what’s best for the shareholders.

[French companies still grappling with leaving Russia](https://www.lemonde.fr/en/economy/article/2024/02/23/war-in-ukraine-french-companies-grapple-with-leaving-russia_6552624_19.html), so US investments are probably not going to stop anytime soon (you can downvote me all you want because I hurt your feelings)

But here’s hoping…
Pause? End them.
