Apparently, in the grand cosmic game of fiscal wizardry, even the great Trump has a penchant for last-minute plot twists. According to BlockBeats, Monsieur Lombard, who might well have been expecting a quiet cup of tea and a safe trade agreement, was positively gobsmacked by the sudden switcheroo. One moment the tariffs were marching like an overenthusiastic troop of tax collectors, and the next, they were on a 90-day holiday—except for that cheeky nation of China, which was left out like the odd sock in a dryer. 🇫🇷😏

Tariffs Would Have Slowed U.S. Growth, Minister Warns

In a twist that would make even the Discworld’s Unseen University professors raise an eyebrow, Lombard emphasized that letting the tariffs run amok would have been like inviting a troll to a tea party—utterly disastrous. “The direct impact of the tariffs would have been to slow U.S. economic growth and increase inflation,” he declared, as if unveiling a particularly dreadful spell gone awry.

Yet don’t let the temporary pause lull you into a false sense of tranquility. Our dear French finance sage cautioned that many of these fiscal incantations still linger in the background. “For this reason, Europe must maintain pressure,” he added, with all the subtle charm of a wizard who knows that even a harmless-looking charm can have unforeseen consequences. 😜
