Trump Threatens 100% Tariffs On French Wine, Champagne Over Digital Tax Dispute

Recent trade data suggests French wine exports to the United States have already experienced a decline. Exports fell 15.9% in value during 2025 to €1.9 billion from €2.4 billion in 2024, according to data from France's Directorate-General of Customs and Indirect Taxes cited by the American Association of Wine Economists.

The remarks come as leaders gather for this week's G7 summit in Évian-les-Bains, France, where trade, security and ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East are expected to feature prominently on the agenda.
