Man has the most French accent lol
He IS the French president though
at least he can express
himself in English which wasn't the case of former French presidents.
after all English is not the language of all coutries
could be way worse
Wow, unheard of coming from a french president 😅
@@toyoashihara6242 Chirac was able to speak English!! He lived for a specific time in USA in his youth!!
A country with a limited population, gdp per capita, and small territory is going to find significant challenges with extensive and large population countries while trying to find a fair level field to trade. Countries are not equal, and thats the fundamental idea of free trade
🇫🇷: We cannot survive if other countries act as if they were independent countries and sovereign, I mean, who the F they think they are ? China is creating its own laws to subsidies its own industries ( Unbelievable ! ), and America is also passing its own bipartisan laws in order to shield its relevant industries. WE CANNOT play/ trade this way. Until everyone accepts the European Union as a whole, we will never have fair trade and fair practices.
Ita not about what you can do for your country, go deeper, instead it is what you can do for France 🇫🇷
Some subtitles are wrongly translated and inaccurate, which makes some of M. Macron's statements meaning different things. This should be fixed ASAP Bloomberg Television!
You shouldn't need subtitles. His English is very fine tbh
Are you meaning the captions auto-generated by machine? Nah. The machine doesn't comprehend too well English with French accent.
But as someone (Stoneface_) else said, Macron's English is 100% intelligible. One can do without the captions, if proficient in the English language.
I reside somewhere more than 7000 miles away from both Paris and New York, still I understand Macron perfectly.
Sorry you dont understand english?
@@DanielMcBrain closed caption are important for people who have hearing problems :)
@@Sebastian-cu2zq true, apologies
Macron communicates easily and fluently in English. 😏
Cant lie, he's super well educated. His career is a combination of M&A, finance and consulting no wonder he speaks good english.
The interviewer is skilled!
great interview
De-coupling, de-risking, now over-capacity... whatelse these Western countries can do to compete in a so-called free trade regime they created?
good question
In human history, there's never a rule/value/system/regime that can work forever, because the world is changing all the time. Five decades ago, nobody would have believed that China could achieve such accomplishments. And this will happen again and again to South America, India, South Asia, Africa. The rise of China and other developing countries is so fast and unstoppable and the concern of Western countries is reasonable based what they have done to this world in last 200 years.
The key is to find a new "fair" game rule. The fairness should be apllied to both developed and developing countries. Rule makers should put the future growth of developing countries into consideration. Otherwise, it will not be a surprise that WW3 will finally happen.
embrace industrial policies (fancy name for sponsoring , subsidizing, coordinating, developing industries by state itself) like china has done decades ago. Hard to catch up. companies cannot compete against Whole China state apparatus so it is necessary to do it to survive.... But overall, leave everything to private capitalists has showed like a bad policy for the world anyway so this will bring better living standard....

Anyone knows the watch Macron is wearing?
I believe it’s an LMM-01. It is based in Paris I think. He wears this one rarely and with different brand colors ( I hope my English is OK😂)
Probably a Blancpain
@@USVVMZ BRAND IS MERCI
LMM-01 Merci is the watch I think
Macron should lead the EU. One of the most sensible EU leaders lately. Fully accepting and speeaking out that world is not the same as it was before. Macron is bringing the change that is needed for Fr (and most EU) economies, which is ageing fast and losing competitivenes fast (i.e. gatting poorer). If not for reforms, EU will fall behind the rest of the world economically. Hopefully, the wider communities will accept and understand that everyone will have to work more and harder to keep competitive
What ???? The EU destroying EU countries!
You couldn't be more wrong
OK boomer

@@Akika..47Il est pas lâche, les français n'ont pas à se battre pour l'Ukraine
I like Macron. SMART man.
So well done Mr President. That journalist wasn’t really skilled at asking questions tho.
When you hear " I'm support green energy" the meaning is that "I don't want to relay on USA or OPEC in my energy sector" and I always support this. Stop taking "green" energy as proclimate issue, it's always more about energy independence. The great example is Germany with their play of cheap energy and now falling into deep recession due to energy dependence on cheap gas from russia. You can see the China where government effectively balance between "green energy" and make all steps to reduce their dependence on foreign resources. The same for electric cars. Electric car it's not about green energy its about independent source of fuel (electric) which can be generated inside the country without any dependence from abroad. And that's why Europe move full electric and USA and GB screaming STOP electric and go oil car and other narrative.
I appreciate Macron's the short and clear discussion he try to avoid all the confuions and target right to the point.. lot of balancing act need to be done globally to avoid conflict (like war especially) which is hurting growth. More innovation and investment in space sector need to be promote. There is a huge potential but also high risk.
French electricity is now controlled by Russia right now.

Not a fan of tariffs clearly and a fan of tariffs clearly.
What about supply constraints of consumer markets like upper class housing, work buildings, food quality, personal and or population quality, education quality?! Flexible finance policies?!
EU has tough decisions to make. Follow the US down the drain or find it's own way.
What do you mean? US has the largest growth of all industrialised nations. The US is building insane amounts of renewable and atomic energy to become more indepedent and at the same time has a huge oil industry which now exports a lot more thanks to US foreign poliy. The US has the best labour-market if looked at through the eyes of a worker because of the lowest unemployment rates since decades. What Macron wants is to catch up to China and the US because he knows that Europe plays a junior role in the conflict between the US and China. That is why he wants a more connected european union.
Capital markets union is necessary.
Excellent : "Cognac, Armagnac, fashion and all this... stuff." 😂 Love my president. And don't be mistaken: when it comes to red tape, France has made tremendous progress. It's incredible how many things are easy to do now directly online. If we were lagging behind in the past in that respect, we are probably frontrunners in that field too now.
Ah oui la transition numérique grâce à Macron, t’es perspicace toi…

With love from Ukraine! Respect MACRON
To bad Western leaders are not voted in by Ukraine... because they act like it's Ukrainians who's opinion is more important than the citizens of their own Nations...they shit on US and keep sending our tax money to Zelinsky the Cokehead Clown of Kiev..And he keeps sending cannon fodder to the front to die. Meanwhile the Cites here in the US are full of homeless and criminals stealing everything that's not nailed down...Like Zelinsky said don't worry about our roads...don't worry Biden hasn't been.our infrastructure is falling apart nationwide... America is shell of its former self...been a downward spiral since the 1970s....I was born into dieing empire who was selling its industrial base to Asia....you drive around western Pennsylvania east ohio west Virginia, once steel mills coke plants coal mines are all gone hundreds of towns and small cities are scattered around...broken rusted little shitholes. The great past is gone, out sourced by greedy traitors....it's like this up and down the east coast.yes there are many wealthy people still here. But the gap between the wealthy and poor grows and the middle class is srinking.Our idiot government keeps printing dollars....our debt is massive...and the bubble will pop. And when it does nobody will rescue the US. So hey Ukrainians,get up and get rid of that idiot in Kiev. We're on the other side of the earth. Russia is literally nextdoor to you. It's not going anywhere, you have so much more in common with them than us. Stop the mindless suicide, you need a leader who cares about the people of Ukraines future.. weapons are not going to bring a great future, it's what is keeping the literal destruction of the seeds of your future.A path of self destruction was chosen in 2014...Scum like Victoria Nunland pointed the way, lies a better future or just that lies. We here in the US are greedy and self centered and our government uses nations like condoms. Soon you will be put in the trash and forgotten.Wake Up

In fact, from the perspective of national independence, political influence, industrial base, consumption capacity, geographical location, etc., Franco-Chinese cooperation on new energy vehicles is the best choice, and I believe that China is also willing to do so if Mr. Macron does not only listen to the teachings of the Americans. It is also the only chance for France to replace Japanese, South Korean and German cars in the automotive sector
French design + Chinese mechanical and electrical technology + Chinese cost-effective accessories + French assembly + EU, Africa, Middle East market, is a perfect cooperation. However, beware of attacks by the Americans on China and France from behind
you are clever❤
France: The way is too damn hard, I yield!
Replace German car?? You do realize that Germany is a part of the EU? 😂
Only a French sovereigntist with a clear lack of understanding of the contemporary dynamics could write such a unrealistic comment.
Sounds like an AI-generated fake posts by a Chinese agency.
Can’t just take over other branded banks with one branded bank?

3:00 bro, you can't not mention the fact that us has a lot more ressources (land, oil, minerals) and that plays a lot in energy prices and raw materials, for competition. It's not as simple as saying some countries are lazy and not others
it doesn't mean that the country is not, on top of that, lazy

Countries all want to protect their car industries, when all their people have been begging them to do for years now is to fix the Fentanyl issue, even if it means war, or a 100% very painful split, just do it already, get it done & stop just always endlessly talking about it when only thinking of yourselves for a change would you please!
you cannot compete with heritage cultural businesses, and their names Europe has it, France has most of it in its wine's cheeses fashion couture, fashion jewelry perfumes/ fragrances and so on.. and rest of what is cultural heritage names, it's foolish to even compare with them...those heritages evolved over long times...its that value, snob or not already created and with reason.. all of it with standards and quality
We miss our UK friend in Europe !!!!! 😢
France business like? This is the country that insists that the EU continue the punitive trade embargo its inflicted on Australia in favour of trading with Russia.
We were making more money trading with Russia than Australia. Unfortunately, he decided to align with USA POLICY
He decided to pronounce all the French words in French rather than in English 😂
As a French Mechanical Engineer speaking fluently 6 languages i can tell you respectfully that this all just BS.
First of all i saw the catastrophy and nightmare in our automotive industry where national producers thought it would be moreeeee way more profitable to delocalize the production centers and RandD centers to eastern Europe Romania not to mention it.
10-15 years later these companies are now de ad akd that's exactly what i understood.
Furthermore, imagine that our National Debt increased of nearly 800 billion $ in only 7 years.
Our Pension System has been reformed 3 ou 4 times in 10 years. French have to work 43 years to get a COMPLETE pension...That was only 37 years 20 years ago.
I'm ready to bet one of my 2 ba lls that this will be soon 45 and maybe 47 years soon very soon
You just have to know that the so called French Millenials or Digital Natives they leave France en masse that is by Millions.
If you obce thought France was a mighty wealthy country YOU WERE WRONG

Macron says we as Europeans should not apply Basel IV yet because the USA do not, but we still apply sustainable regulations which the rest of the world does not apply yet. Not very coherent.
he is saying that the US is doing hell of a lot less than EU which makes EU less competitive.
@@Justanother1ne No, he says we shouldn't apply Basel 4 and Solvency 3 in Europe because USA don't, but we still apply SFDR and CSRD (sustainable regulations) which only us apply in the world. Not coherent as I said.

The best service to France is to cut down the financial rate of France. The French president has increased the debt of France at an inacceptable point.

World is not the same as it was before. Macron is bringing the change that is needed for Fr/Eu economy, which is ageing fast and losing competitivenes fast (i.e. gatting poorer).

In addition to his technical acumen, *Michael Hugh Terpin* also stands out for his integrity and transparency. He maintains open communication channels with his clients, providing regular updates, insights, and recommendations based on market trends. This level of transparency instills a sense of trust and confidence, making the trading experience with him not only profitable but also enjoyable and stress-free.
Macron is extremely selective in his description of his work and achievements. There is a key figure that tells everything. It is public debt in relation to GDP. What this key figure says with all clarity is that capital allocation in France is horribly lousy and harmful.
that is a non sequitur comment, there is no relation between public debt/ gdp and mediocre capital allocation... the US is a perfect proof of that.

Yes, Maron is right. France is the most predatory country in terms of taxation in the world. It is the state with the most public administration employees per capita. It is the country that rewards those who do not work the most. etc. etc. He is right, investors are rushing to invest there!! 😂😃😂💪
I agree on your point, 'rewards those who do not work'. Because there are people misusing this system very badly.. My opinion is that there should be a mesure and reward points. People should be recognised by there contribution and give them the reward (not award please in terms of %value) so it motivates others to do the same.
Macron dreams and tries to change that, but in France it's almost mission impossible. As soon as a French president announces that there will be cuts in the public administration, millions of people are on the streets the next day and they continue until they get their way. French society is stagnant and closed.

On the contrary they signed 28 deals on "fair play". It's in Xi's interest to reward anyone who wants to play fair, because the Chinese economy is highly competitive.
