After threatening to impose a 100% tariff on French goods, Mr. Trump told a meeting with NATO leaders in the UK that he and French President Emmanuel Macron will discuss a variety of issues including NATO and trade relations. President Trump was optimistic, saying that things will be brighter in a short time and as usual, a solution will eventually be worked out.

France will discuss the issue with the US, President Macron said, but he will definitely protect the interests of France and the EU.
