France's trade minister Franck Riester hopes U.S. President-elect Joe Biden acts soon to calm trade tensions fueled by Donald Trump, which have led to escalating tariffs on both sides of the Atlantic hitting billions of dollars worth of wine, cars and other goods. In an interview with The Associated Press, Riester accused the U.S. of blocking the appointment of the World Trade Organization's next director and said France is "optimistic" that Biden will improve U.S. ties with Europe and the world.
