## Resource

French President Emmanuel Macron is rallying Europe to adopt new taxes—like on carbon imports, big tech, and foreign airlines—to fund the EU’s next two-trillion-euro budget without forcing member states to pay more directly. With France’s farming sector benefiting from current EU spending, it’s reluctant to cut funding but eager to avoid political backlash from Brussels. Ireland is leading negotiations to find consensus among 27 nations, aiming to raise 400 billion euros over seven years. The European Parliament also backs taxing crypto and digital giants, with France and Spain showing interest—but France is exploring multiple options to secure revenue without increasing its own contributions or slashing vital programs.
