    French President Macron slams U.S. visa ban on Thierry Breton and others

    -

    PARIS, Dec ​24 (Reuters) - French President Emmanuel Macron on Wednesday slammed ⁠a decision by the United States to impose ‍visa bans on former ​European Union commissioner Thierry Breton and other anti-disinformation campaigners.

    "France condemns ​the visa restriction measures taken by the United States against Thierry Breton and four ‌other European figures. These measures ‌amount to intimidation and coercion ​aimed at undermining European digital sovereignty," Macron said ‌on social media platform ⁠X.

    "Together with the European Commission ‌and ​our European partners, we will continue to defend our ⁠digital sovereignty ⁠and our regulatory autonomy," he ​added.
