Donald Trump has the French and Emmanuel Macron in his sights now in response to a new 3 percent tax on the revenue of tech companies like Facebook, Google, and Amazon. The American president is taking aim at French wine, threatening a new tax as a "reciprocal action."
The Daily Mail reports that Trump expressed that Macron made the wrong move by taxing American tech products, so he plans to respond in kind with a tax on a product which will hurt France.
"France just put a digital tax on our great American technology companies. If anybody taxes them, it should be their home Country, the USA. We will announce a substantial reciprocal action on Macron's foolishness shortly. I've always said American wine is better than French wine!"
Donald Trump, who has made many statements about being a teetotaler, owns a winery in Virginia, and would perhaps benefit from making French wines more expensive in the United States. Trump's next comments about the difference between American and French wines struck some people as peculiar.
