President Donald Trump on Tuesday railed against what he framed as unfair trade practices by France when it comes to wine.
Trump tweeting, “On Trade, France makes excellent wine, but so does the U.S. The problem is that France makes it very hard for the U.S. to sell its wines into France, and charges big Tariffs, whereas the U.S. makes it easy for French wines, and charges very small Tariffs. Not fair, must change!”
The European Union levies tariffs ranging from $0.11 to $0.29 a bottle on wine that is imported from the US. While, according to the Wine Institute, bottles exported from the EU to the US are hit with a tax of $0.05 a bottle.
Trump’s tweet comes amid a deteriorating relationship between him and French President Emmanuel Macron.
