- Trump said France must scrap its 3% digital services tax on U.S. tech firms or face 100% tariffs on French wine and champagne exports to the U.S.
- The threat came ahead of the G7 summit in Évian-les-Bains, France, where Trump spoke about the issue.
- The tax, passed in 2019, targets large tech companies like Amazon, Meta, and Alphabet.
- The U.S. is a major market for French wine, accounting for about one-fifth of global sales, roughly $2 billion a year.
- This is not the first clash over the tax; Trump has previously threatened tariffs on French wine in response.
