WASHINGTON/PARIS: US President Donald Trump said on Friday the United States would hit France shortly with a"substantial reciprocal action" - and warned a new American tax on French wine was possible - after Paris announced a tax aimed at US technology companies.
He added a few minutes later the US response would be announced soon and it"might be on wine, it might be on something else." He added"the administration is looking closely at all other policy tools." Last week, Trump spoke with Macron and expressed concerns about the country’s proposed digital services tax, the White House said.
Other EU countries, including Austria, Britain, Spain and Italy, have also announced plans for their own digital taxes.
