French Minister for Industry and Energy Marc Ferracci said "trade wars only make losers" and "we shouldn't be happy with what was announced today by China." Ferracci's comments came after Beijing imposed anti-dumping duties on European brandy for five years, while exempting major cognac makers that meet a price commitment, such as Remy Cointreau SA, Pernod Ricard SA and LVMH's Hennessy. "We all must find a way to de-escalate this trade war with regards to cognac, but also with regards to all the tariff issues," he tells Bloomberg's Caroline Connan.
