French PM Bayrou Warns Europe Could Be 'Crushed' by Trump's 100 Executive Orders
Jan 20, 2025, 01:10 PM
French Prime Minister François Bayrou warned that France and the European Union risk being 'crushed' if they do not respond to policies introduced by U.S. President Donald Trump, who was inaugurated on Monday. Bayrou emphasized the need for Europe to take action to avoid being dominated, stating, 'If we do nothing, we will be crushed.' He expressed concern over the United States pursuing an increasingly dominant strategy by monopolizing the dollar, industrial policies, research, and investments. Trump's plans include issuing 100 executive orders in a single day to dismantle the policies of his predecessor, Joe Biden, and launch an offensive.
