France and Germany Push EU Rapid-Response Trade Tool Aimed at China

Original: France, Germany push for EU rapid-response trade tool with likely focus on China

France and Germany are jointly pressing the European Union to adopt a rapid-response trade instrument that would allow Brussels to react quickly to economic coercion or trade threats. Officials expect the tool to be aimed primarily at China, whose market restrictions and state subsidies have frustrated European governments. The joint Franco-German initiative carries significant weight, as EU trade policy generally requires backing from both capitals to move forward.

Why now: A joint Franco-German push signals new momentum in EU debates over how to counter Chinese economic coercion.
