At the special summit in Brussels, French President Emmanuel Macron advocated for mirror clauses and argued against the trade agreement with Mercosur. „I am not fundamentally against free trade agreements,“ Macron said in a press briefing. He is simply against free trade when the „law of the jungle“ applies. „We cannot demand that European producers respect more and more rules while negotiating free trade agreements, as was done in the 90s,“ Macron said.
