French President Emmanuel Macron has called on EU leaders to contemplate using the bloc's strongest trade tool in response to China's planned export controls on critical raw materials. At a recent summit, he emphasized the need to address what he labeled as economic coercion from China, which could significantly impact European industries and security. While Germany's Chancellor acknowledged the discussion, no decision has been made on implementing the anti-coercion instrument, leaving it up to the European Commission to develop options for negotiations.
