CORRECTED-French PM Bayrou on US tariffs: China cannot replace US

ReutersApr 11, 2025 11:09 AM

PARIS, April 11 (Reuters) - French Prime Minister Francois Bayrou said it was naive and dangerous to think China can replace the United States as a trade partner, and urged European Union (EU) members to stick together in the current climate of global trade tensions.

"The idea that the United States could be replaced by China is a terribly dangerous idea," Bayrou told reporters on Friday during a visit to a fair for cheese and wine.

President Xi Jinping told Spain's prime minister on Friday that China and the EU must join together in defending globalisation and opposing "unilateral acts of bullying", in a clear swipe at U.S. President Donald Trump's tariff policies.
