Will impose tax on French wine in retaliation of their digital tax, says Donald Trump

US President Donald Trump on Friday said he would impose tax on French wine in retaliation of France’s digital tax that would impact American companies.

“I told him (French President Emmanuel Macron) don’t do it, because if you do it, I’m going to tax your wine — tariff or tax — call it whatever you want. So, yeah, we are working on that right now,” Trump told reporters at the White House.

Earlier, Trump spoke to Macron over phone, during which the two leaders discussed a host of issues, including addressing the continued threat posed by Iran to commercial shipping traffic in the Strait of Hormuz, France’s decision to adopt a digital services tax and the upcoming G7 Summit, according to White House spokesperson Judd Deere.
