Between France and Algeria, trade exchanges collapse, a new effect of the crisis between the two countries

On November 6, a meeting was held at the French Treasury with businesses and unions to discuss the decline in trade with Algeria. French exporters expressed concerns over import authorization refusals and declining orders. Representatives from various ministries offered little response, indicating ongoing dialogue with Algeria. This situation reflects Paris's struggle with a significant drop in exports, linked to diplomatic tensions following President Macron's recognition of Moroccan sovereignty over Western Sahara in July 2024.
