Washington President Donald Trump on Friday floated placing tariffs on French wines and other French products in retaliation for that nation's new tax on large American technology companies, telling reporters in the Oval Office that he"might" impose the tax ahead of the G7 summit in August.
"France put on a tax on our companies ... wrong thing to do. They should not have done that," Trump said, referring to a tax recently approved by France's Parliament. It would institute a 3% tax for large technology companies on revenue earned in France beginning January 2020."I've always liked American wines better than French wines. Even though I don't drink wine. I just like the way they look, OK?" Trump added.
What comes around goes around! The president is asking for fairness! For far to long countries have been putting tariffs on American goods while we did not on theres! ITS ABOUT FAIRNESS!!
What sour grapes from a teetotaller.
This Trump cheater bug will not last. He will go jail after his Presidency. People should put him in jail for cheating on women and being a racist. Shouldn't let him continue, America got many more people who could do a better Presidency job
Believe me Trump, Europe could care less for you to impose tariffs on their French wine, at the end of the day we would be the ones missing out. Europe is way well off.
CHRIST, HE DOES EVERYTHING IN RETAILIATION DOESNT HE.
Trump turns out to be the biggest loser with his private trade war. And who is paying the bill for thos game? Not the various countries. It is the American people that pay for the higher prices. Thank you mr. president! realDonaldTrump
They’re wines shitty so who cares.
Making friends and influencing people. Dale Carnegie would be so proud.
Is it Nov 2020 yet?
You mean the G7 you plan on holding at Trump's Golf Course would you be serving your wine? This is a retaliation because the British people flew the balloon of you and your f****** diaper or was that the French? It really doesn't matter anyone that disagrees is your enemy.
Can this freak be anymore hated around the world than he is? He is out to destroy all the good in the world and replace it with his hate filled bullshit!
Are Trump wines still a thing? I know Trump Whines are. If so, isn’t this unconstitutional? Imposing tariffs on an industry he’s in......
Fair trade, that’s all he wants.
More great news for America and Americans! Thank you President Trump!!
Trump is a whimp who now has power. He bully's and throws power around because he can.
Anyone needs to remember who started all this tariff crap.
Go Trump! MAGA
Oh jeez, if you impose the tariffs before you go, then no one is going to talk or listen to you. That's what your thinking right?
Who cares I hate wine anyway. It only effects the snobs who drink it.
Wow. One of the products Russia can't legally get now is one of the products trump wants to tariff for no fucking reason.
Last time Macron raised taxes France melted down with months long protests. When Trump retaliates, Macron will capitulate faster than AOC can call someone a racist.
Dear cnn speakerPelosi congressdotgov senateDems senateGOP Trump will try to kill my family to cover up Hermelin crimes for the bribe received from Macron. Trump is a con artist; he will do anything to cover his corruption and abuse of power. 1st day drama from T’s ARB.

Trump’s big China tariffs are resulting in a second “welfare” handout to farmers to save them from bankruptcy to the time of another $12 BILLION. Actual GDP ⬇️ by 1.1% in last quarter - Trump’s tax cuts aren’t producing what he promised. In fact, Trump now has no qtr over 4%.
Bulletless war
