PoliticsMerz, Macron seek tougher EU measures against unfair trade

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and French President Emmanuel Macron have urged European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen to strengthen the EU’s tools against unfair trade practices by other states. Their nonbinding letter names no country, though it appears aimed primarily at China and possibly the United States. They propose supplier diversification and a faster way to exclude a third country from the single market in exceptional circumstances.
