Trump's threats are 'bad news' for the French wine industry, Picard said
Emmanuel Macron will hold a “respectful but firm discussion” with Donald Trump after the American president threatened to slap a 100% tariff on French wine.
Ahead of a G7 summit at the French resort of Evian-les-Bains, Trump reportedly threatened to impose a new levy on French wine and champagne unless France removed its 3% digital services tax on tech firms.
“We will have a respectful but firm discussion,” the French president told TF1 as he prepared to host Trump and other leaders at the summit on the shores of Lake Geneva.
“Tariffs don’t do anyone any good, especially tariffs between G7 countries,” he added, calling for trade “stability”.
