In an exclusive interview with the New York Post, US President Donald Trump has threatened to impose 100% tariffs on all French wines and champagne unless France scraps its 3% digital services tax on American technology companies.
Trump said he relayed the warning directly to French President Emmanuel Macron, giving him a clear condition: drop the levy or face punishing duties in the American market. The US accounts for roughly a fifth of the French wine industry's global sales, worth over $2 billion annually.
