The day's French headlines primarily focused on Donald Trump's announcement of new 30% tariffs on European Union and Mexican imports, effective August 1st. This development, starting in the early afternoon, generated widespread coverage detailing the European Commission's swift response, indicating readiness for negotiation while simultaneously preparing potential countermeasures. The media analyzed the implications of these tariffs, portraying them as a significant economic and diplomatic challenge for Europe. Concurrently, the "historic" agreement for New Caledonia, signed by independentist and non-independentist factions, maintained significant editorial attention throughout the day. This pact outlines the creation of an "Etat de la Nouvelle-Calédonie" with provisions for dual nationality and constitutional revision, a development hailed by President Macron. Additionally, President Macron's establishment of July 12th as a commemoration day for Alfred Dreyfus's rehabilitation also featured prominently in morning reports.
