It seems quite good to have Supreme Courts, and that's a rule of law.

All those who think Supreme Courts are problems in political life, well, a Supreme Court reviewed the Constitution and says it's not conforming to the Constitution.

Then everyone says, that's wonderful.

Yes, it's good to have checks and balances in democracies.

We should certainly welcome that development.

All right.

Then we must not move too quickly either, because I note that President Trump just a few hours ago mentioned he had revived some old text to implement new tariffs, but these would be more limited in scope and apply to everyone.

So we will need to carefully examine this.

We will look precisely at all the consequences, what exactly can be done, and then we will adapt accordingly.

Ultimately, what is it that we truly desire?

I think the missing point is first, scale.

Not just for the French, but for all the Europeans.

Second, capital.

And the third point, we have to find more appetite for risk.

We developed during the past few years a series of cooperation and partnerships in different sectors with your country.

I really believe that when we team up, we deliver.

Second, we don't want to be dependent on one of the two big powers.

We want to have good relations with the US and China.

We have different relationships, by the way, with both of them, between India and France.

And we are supporters of this approach.
