French wine and champagne exports once again face becoming collateral damage in a dispute between Washington and Paris, as Trump returns to a threat he has deployed repeatedly against France.
According to a report on Monday by the New York Post, US President Donald Trump has threatened to impose a 100% tariff on French wine and champagne unless France abolishes its digital services tax on technology companies.
France introduced the levy in 2019, applying a 3% tax on revenues generated within the country by major technology firms, including Facebook, Amazon, Apple and Google's parent company, Alphabet.
