Trump Threatens 100% Tariffs on French Wine Over Digital Services Tax

President Trump warned French President Emmanuel Macron that failure to eliminate the 3% digital services tax could result in 100% tariffs on French wine and champagne.
The tax, enacted in 2019, targets U.S. tech companies and has become a point of contention in U.S.-France relations.
The potential tariffs could significantly impact European exports, with alcohol products accounting for a substantial share of the EU's trade with the U.S., valued at approximately €9 billion in 2024.
