- The storm caused by U.S. 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.
