France is a particularly vulnerable target for Saudi threats of divestment, considering the large factor luxury goods (LVMH etc.) play in France's economy and that Arabs are one of THE major customers of these goods.

Exclusive: US and Germany foiled Russian plot to assassinate CEO of arms manufacturer sending weapons to Ukraine

The plot was one of a series of Russian plans to assassinate defense industry executives across Europe who were supporting Ukraine’s war effort, these sources said. The plan to kill Armin Papperger, a white-haired goliath who has led the German manufacturing charge in support of Kyiv, was the most mature.
