France's Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire stressed plans to implement a digital tax on American technology giants.

PARIS — In a televised interview, France’s finance minister Bruno Le Maire defended the involvement of the country’s foreign affairs minister in LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton’s soured deal to purchase Tiffany & Co.

“It’s the role of the minister of foreign affairs to take all the measures he deems necessary to protect French interests,” he continued, speaking on television channel French 2 Monday.

Le Maire steered the interview to the subject of a digital tax, stressing his intentions to pursue those plans, which are at the root of the French-American trade dispute.
