After Macron complains about US climate policy, Biden rushes to appease the EU

It seems that when the rest of the world says “jump” to Joe Biden, his response is “how high?”

After French President Emmanuel Macron tore up US energy policy on Wednesday by saying the The Inflation Reduction Act could have serious consequences for the French and other European economies, Biden just seemed to continue with his America Last policy.

Biden immediately went into appeasement mode, saying the US and the European Union could “work out” any differences caused by the Biden administration’s what Macron called “super-aggressive” climate policies.

These are government subsidies for green technology and energy.

Macron and Biden appeared at a joint press conference where Biden stated, “We will continue to create manufacturing jobs in America, but not at the expense of Europe. We can resolve some of the existing differences, I am confident in that.”

Macron agreed, saying: “Anything that is absolutely decisive, because in fact we share the same vision and the same willingness.”

Can someone explain to me how Joe Biden can be on stage today giving his speech while hosting Macron claiming that he is doing everything he can to bring jobs back to America but that he will not do so at the cost of the EU? I’m surprised he didn’t throw China as well.

European concerns

The core of European concerns about the Inflation Reduction Act is that as components for electric cars and other green technology is manufactured in the US and receives subsidies from the federal government, European manufacturers will suffer economic consequences.

What Europe is already struggling with high fuel costs due to the war in Ukraine (but not in France, which gets 70% of its power from nuclear energy), Macron has taken the lead in calling on the EU to come up with its own green subsidy programme.

Of course, according to Politico, the Biden administration is all for helping other countries as it piles nearly $400 billion in new taxes on Americans.

Previously Biden-Macron Spat

This is not the first time Joe Biden has been in trouble with his French counterpart.

In October, while attending a fundraiser for the Democrats, Biden stated that for the first time in decades, the US could look at “the imminent threat of using a nuclear weapon if things do indeed continue on their current path. His comments related to the war in Ukraine.

The comments on nuclear destruction did not sit well with Macron. He responded by saying, “We have to be careful when commenting on such matters. I have always refused to participate in political fiction, and especially… when we talk about nuclear weapons,” he added. “At this point we have to be very careful.”

Macron also said he wanted to be “respected as a good friend” but that the Inflation Reduction Act policies “might solve your problem, but you would increase my problem”.

So far, the Biden press with Macron is about Ukraine and taking money from US taxpayers to fund global pet projects under the guise of “climate change”.
