Macron got angry as soon as he arrived in the United States, White House will still not look back, and the United States and Europe may further move towards division.
In recent months, the United States and Europe have been constantly splitting. The United States has been constantly suppressing the development of EU for its own selfish desires and is determined to do its own way, but this time the EU no longer tolerate it.
According to relevant reports, French President Macron recently began visiting the United States and began to "go crazy" as soon as he arrived, harshly criticizing the "Inflation Reduction Act" proposed by the Biden administration. While having lunch with U.S. Congressmen and business leaders, he accused the U.S. industrial subsidies for killing a large number of jobs in Europe.

For some time, severe inflation has erupted across the world, and the inflation rate in the United States has reached its highest point in 40 years. In order to cope with the inflation crisis, the Biden administration introduced the Inflation Reduction Act, vigorously supporting local industries and providing preferential policies, but this has hit the European commercial market. The bill reduces the attractiveness of European companies to investors, and the United States transfers EU funds into its own pocket in disguise.
Not only that, Macron also emphasized that this bill is an option that will divide the West, and the United States and Europe must coordinate and resynchronize the policy agenda. However, Macron could not even change his mind to Biden's change of heart.
The Inflation Reduction Act proposed by Biden is the landmark agenda of his administration. Biden will invest about $369 billion to subsidize the environmental protection industry, especially to provide huge tax relief to the U.S. local electric vehicle manufacturing industry. In the case of an outbreak of economic and energy crisis in EU countries, Biden's preferential policy has caused many European industries to consider transferring their businesses to the United States, which will inevitably be a huge blow to the development of European economically.

After Macron's lunch speech, the White House responded in the evening that the Inflation Cutdown Act will help the global clean energy development, bringing opportunities to Europe, but also energy security benefits. Obviously, the White House expressed its refusal to look back.
Macron's visit to the United States is one of the major purposes of this trip to negotiate with the Biden administration on this plan and prompt the United States to make concessions. But as far as the current situation is concerned, Macron may be disappointed.
Since the Biden administration proposed the Inflation Reduction Act, EU countries have been constantly threatening to subsidize EU local industries in order to cope with the United States' strike, in order to launch a "trade war" against the United States. Now the conflict between Russia and Ukraine has not stopped, and countries are facing inflation and energy crises. If the United States and the EU are in a trade war, the global economic situation will fall into a quagmire. This is something that many countries do not want to see, and there is a high probability that there will be no trade war between the United States and Europe.
However, the United States' vigorous crackdown on EU companies has also accelerated the division between the United States and Europe. Previously, the EU imposed turns to impose sanctions on Russia during the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, causing Russia to cut off energy transmission to the EU, which in turn triggered a series of crises within the EU. Seeing this, the United States immediately raised prices and sold local natural gas energy to the EU at a high price, which further stimulated the rise in EU inflation.

is just a matter of excessive natural gas prices. French President Macron protested and criticized the United States in his public speeches countless times. Now, the United States has introduced a policy again to directly attack the development of France's industrial. No matter what the relationship between the United States and Europe in the future, it is unlikely that the relationship between France and the United States will be able to return to the past.
This crisis also made the EU see the situation clearly. In the early stages of the crisis, many leaders of many countries kept proposing that it was the excessive dependence of the local government on Russia's energy that led to the EU's helplessness in the face of Russia's sanctions. Several months later, more EU countries realized that it was their mistaken follow the pace of the United States that led to their own country being deeply in danger.
In the future, the United States and Europe will further move towards division, and the EU will also pay more attention to finding new cooperative relations outside the United States, which is also an opportunity for the development of the global multipolar pattern.
