PARIS: France wants to reach a deal with the US on taxing tech giants by a G7 meeting in late August, Economy Minister Bruno Le Maire said Saturday .
Macron confirmed that he had a"long" conversation with Trump, stressing the pair would"continue to work together in view of the G7".AdvertisementHis office earlier said Macron had told Trump that the tax on the tech giants was not just in France's interest but was something they both had a stake in.Le Maire took the same line at a news conference Saturday:"We wish to work closely with our American friends on a universal tax on digital activities.
But Deputy White House spokesman Judd Deere noted earlier that France's digital services tax was already the subject of an investigation at the US Trade Representative's office, potentially opening the door to economic sanctions.
