Macron to move 300 B EUROS yearly investment out of US

[Lonestarblue]

16. Macron has suggested that the EU should stop investing in the US given Trump's belligerence toward them.

The article does not mention an amount, but if the whole EU stops investments, it could seriously hurt our economy and make borrowing costs higher.

“(Bloomberg) -- French President Emmanuel Macron urged companies to pause investments in the US after President Donald Trump announced tariffs on the European Union and other regions.

It makes little sense for firms to invest there while the US hits out against Europe, Macron said, speaking ahead of a meeting with representatives of industry groups affected by tariffs.”

Edited to add a paragraph from a Bloomberg article. This may be where the $300 billion comes from.

“Trump remains angry at Europe for not buying enough US goods, but he ignores the flipside of the US trade deficit: Europe has become a massive exporter of capital to the US. Roughly €300 billion ($351 billion) of European savings flow out of the bloc annually, primarily to America. This helps pays for factories, inflates the value of the Magnificent Seven and funds the US budget deficit. It lets the nation consume more than it produces while suppressing its borrowing costs — the essence of the US’s Exorbitant Privilege.”
