PARIS: US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is receptive to the idea of zero reciprocal tariffs between France and the United States, French finance minister Eric Lombard said, as France and the European Union continue tariff talks with the US
“He told me that this was not out of reach,” Lombard told Sud Radio on Wednesday as he summarised talks he had held with Bessent.
“We want to get back to zero tariffs. Our American partners have been softening their position,” he added.
