President Donald Trump has warned that the United States will impose 100 per cent tariffs on French wine and champagne unless President Emmanuel Macron scraps France’s three per cent digital services tax on American technology companies.
In an interview with the New York Post published on Monday, Trump said he had delivered the ultimatum directly to Macron.
“I asked him not to charge American companies, and if they do, I have no choice but to charge a 100 per cent tariff on all champagnes and all wines coming out of France,” he stated.
