President Donald Trump has issued a stern warning to France, threatening to impose 100% tariffs on French wines unless France abolishes its digital tax on American tech companies.
Trump demanded that French President Emmanuel Macron eliminate the 3% tech tax.
In an interview with the New York Post, published on Monday, the President stated, "I asked him not to charge American companies, and if they do, I have no choice but to charge a 100% tariff on all champagnes and all wines coming out of France." He further suggested that Macron could alleviate this pressure by simply removing the sales tax.
This isn't the first time Trump has threatened France with tariffs on its wine industry.
Earlier this year, Trump warned of imposing 200% tariffs on French wines and champagnes after Macron reportedly declined to join his Gaza ‘Board of Peace' initiative.
