RENDRE COUP POUR COUP: Trump warns France in exclusive interview with The Post: Kill tech tax or face 100% wine tariffs: ‘I have no choice.’

Trump said he gave the blunt warning directly to outgoing French President Emmanuel Macron, demanding he ditch the 3% tech levy or face devastating duties in the American market, which accounts for a fifth of the French wine industry’s global sales — worth more than $2 billion annually.

“I asked him not to charge American companies, and if they do, I have no choice but to charge a 100% tariff on all champagnes and all wines coming out of France,” Trump told The Post. “All [Macron] has to do is get rid of the sales tax, and he wouldn’t have that kind of pressure.”

The ultimatum drew a defiant response from Macron, who on Monday told French TV channel TF1 that “tariffs don’t do anyone any good, especially tariffs between G7 countries”. Asked if he would yield to the tariff threats, he responded: “No, because that is not how it works.”

I suppose we’ll see about that, including how long Macron can hide behind the fiction that his “tech levy” isn’t effectively a tariff on American tech firms.

Near as I could get Grok and GPT to figure it out for me, if the entire French tech sector were one American firm, it probably wouldn’t rank among the U.S. top 15 in market cap — maybe the size of Sandisk, or at best, Netflix.
