US President Donald Trump has threatened to set a 100 percent tariff on French wine and champagne unless Paris removes a digital services tax on technology firms. France imposed in 2019 a three percent levy on the revenues earned by technology firms – including US giants like Facebook, Amazon, Apple and Google’s parent Alphabet – within the country’s borders.

America wine ( Napa valley ) better than french wine
Trump has two gears only: tariffs and bombs.
The audacity to dictate to a foreign country how it should handle its taxes. 😂
All of Europe should tax US tech companies. You want to do business here? Pay taxes just like everyone else. And not just these ridiculous 3%
Europe will back down as always
Give him something gold…he'll cave
So easy to manipulate
xD imagine having a disagreement in a g7 and came out threaning tarrif XD
So European can't decide on US law 100% on alcohol is not a bad deal for US great job mr trump😅
No big official came to welcome him. Now he is mad about it 😂
Make it 200% for a good deal
Trump trying to black mail a fellow European country again. Stay strong France from a Brit.
Please send your wine to Canada–We love it and we are boycotting US wine so we have room on the selves for yours!
Tell him to F off
Take that digital tax and pay off those wine makers, then extend those tax to the entire EU.
Sorry that our old, demented President is on the loose again. Ignore him, he is weak & unpopular. Trump wants to keep his tech billionaires happy but Americans are done with both him & them.
Good Job Trump, we want more
There ought to a tariff on Trump's idiocies, it would raise a fortune.
Make it 10000% french wine is nasty.
Haha .. local businesses already have French wine promos in our local stores .. The U.S doesn't like fine French wine, so .. lets just have a fun summer drinking French wine 🙂
Trump is a threat to western world and world peace.
France! Stand strong, do not back down!!!
110 tax on us big tech then 🤌 Let us see…
Corect response – next day there is tariffs on wine digital tax will double. Next tariff – double again.
Trump tries to bully again – and will lose again
I will continue to buy French wine, and I live in the US.
I have never hated being an American more than I do right now! I am so disgusted with our president!!!
elbows up
100 tariffs on Harley Davison unless Epstein files released
oh yeah…Trump and his Tech-Bro masters. Just tell him to f himself. Wouldnt mind heavy regulations of the cancer that is american tech.Theres a big need for a privacy/consumer rights act.
Wanted to say it hurts his voters, but I don’t think they can afford French wine any more 😂
Trump's tariffs — as they stand — are a legit reason to impose a digital tax.
I can imagine the French public’s response will be well acted in monthly pythons holy grail 😂 deservedly so
