Consid\u00e9rant la visite de Sarkozy \u00e0 Washington, la presse britannique s’attache essentiellement au climat \u00e9conomique dans lequel elle s’est faite, climat de crise, bien s\u00fbr. On cite ici le Times<\/em> et le Financial Times<\/em>, qui centrent leurs commentaires sur les avertissements de Sarkozy \u00e0 propos de la politique US, ou la non-politique US, concernant le dollar.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t Le Times<\/em> d’aujourd’hui<\/a> \u00e9crit :<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00abPresident Sarkozy of France inflamed transatlantic tensions over the slumping dollar yesterday as the latest steep falls in the US currency fuelled fears over its destabilising impact on the global economy.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bbAs the dollar sank to new record lows, propelling the pound to levels above $2.10 for the first time in 26 years, Mr Sarkozy used an address to a joint session of the US Congress to warn Washington against a policy of tacit acceptance as its currency sank.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bbRaising the spectre of economic war, the French President said: Those who admire the nation that has built the world’s greater economy . . . expect her to be the first to promote fair exchange rates. The dollar cannot remain solely the problem of others. If we are not careful, monetary disarray could morph into economic war. We could all be victims.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bbThe blunt warning to Washington came as the dollar’s sharp losses drove the euro to a fresh record high of $1.4730, stoking fears among eurozone businesses and governments that it would undermine growth prospects.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t Le Financial Times<\/em>, d’aujourd’hui<\/a> \u00e9galement, qui nous dit ceci:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00abPresident Nicolas Sarkozy of France on Wednesday urged the US to maintain a strong dollar policy, warning on his first official trip to Washington since being elected six months ago that monetary disorder risked turning into economic war.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bbIn a speech in French to a joint session of Congress the first by a French leader for 11 years Mr Sarkozy also attacked the excesses of Wall Street, saying the land of free enterprise gave too much room for financial speculation.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \tCes prises de position de deux journaux li\u00e9s \u00e0 la City<\/em> et aux milieux dirigeants de la puissance financi\u00e8re britannique paraissent significatives d’une r\u00e9action qu’on pourrait par cons\u00e9quent qualifier de britannique. Dans ce cas, la r\u00e9action britannique est int\u00e9ressante parce que les Britanniques sont particuli\u00e8rement sensibles aux questions financi\u00e8res, \u00e9conomiques et mon\u00e9taires ; par tradition, bien s\u00fbr, mais aussi parce qu’ils ont d\u00e9j\u00e0 \u00e9t\u00e9 s\u00e9v\u00e8rement touch\u00e9s par la crise ces derniers mois, avec l’affaire de la banque Northern Rock<\/a>. De ce point de vue, on ne doit pas prendre leur appr\u00e9ciation comme une d\u00e9marche pour mettre en \u00e9vidence un d\u00e9saccord entre Paris et Washington. (Les Britanniques sont, malgr\u00e9 leurs avatars \u00e0 cet \u00e9gard, tr\u00e8s jaloux de leurs pr\u00e9rogatives type-special relationships<\/em>. Toute leur politique \u00e0 cet \u00e9gard devrait \u00eatre, en temps normal, de freiner un \u00e9ventuel rapprochement Paris-Washington.)<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \tCette r\u00e9action marque une s\u00e9rieuse pr\u00e9occupation britannique pour la d\u00e9t\u00e9rioration de la situation et pour l’inaction US dans le sens d’une solidarit\u00e9 occidentale et du monde d\u00e9velopp\u00e9. De ce point de vue, le voyage de Sarkozy est consid\u00e9r\u00e9 comme l’occasion d’un avertissement europ\u00e9en lanc\u00e9 aux USA. (Les Britanniques adorent ces prises de position dures contre la politique US, qu’ils soutiennent parce qu’ils sont partie prenante implicite mais o\u00f9 ils ne sont pas directement impliqu\u00e9s.) Dans ce cas, le voyage de Sarkozy serait charg\u00e9 par l’interpr\u00e9tation britannique d’une potentialit\u00e9 d’avertissement s\u00e9rieux aux USA dont lui-m\u00eame, le pr\u00e9sident fran\u00e7ais, ne mesure peut-\u00eatre pas tout le poids.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \tMis en ligne le 8 novembre 2007 \u00e0 07H46<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Consid\u00e9rant la visite de Sarkozy \u00e0 Washington, la presse britannique s’attache essentiellement au climat \u00e9conomique dans lequel elle s’est faite, climat de crise, bien s\u00fbr.
