Macron: EU should not accept an unbalanced trade deal

PARIS, June 27 (Reuters) - President Emmanuel Macron on Thursday said that France wants a quick and pragmatic trade deal with the United States but that his country would not accept terms that were unbalanced.

All tools must used to ensure a fair deal, the French president told reporters in Brussels after a summit of EU leaders.

If the U.S. baseline tariff rate of 10% remained in place then Europe's response would have to have an equivalent impact, he added.

"Our goodwill should not be seen as a weakness," Macron said.
