In France, Prime Minister Michel Barnier’s government is poised to face a vote of no confidence, marking a historic shift since 1962. The debate began in the National Assembly as President Emmanuel Macron prioritizes appointing a successor before Donald Trump’s upcoming visit to Paris. Against a backdrop of a divided Parliament and economic challenges, Barnier’s government is under pressure, with potential repercussions for France’s credit ratings and financial stability if the budget proposal is rejected.
