Trump warns France in exclusive interview with The Post: Kill tech tax or face 100% wine tariffs: ‘I have no choice’

Article excerpt

Donald Trump threatened France with 100% tariffs on wine unless it scraps its digital services tax, according to an exclusive Post interview. A senior French presidential aide claimed the issue was settled ahead of the G7 summit, but a US official quickly dismissed that account as inaccurate. Trump framed the ultimatum as unavoidable: "I have no choice." The digital tax has long rankled Washington, which views it as discriminatory toward American tech companies. The threat escalates trade tensions between the allies just as they prepare for high-level talks.
