Trump threatens tariffs against 'foolish' Macron

US President Donald Trump has accused his French counterpart of "foolishness" over a digital services tax levied by France, hinting that he would tax French wine in retaliation.

Mr Trump voiced his anger in a Tweet directed at the French President, Emmanuel Macron.

France's 3% tax is to be levied on sales generated by multinational firms like Google.

The Trump administration argues that it unfairly targets US tech giants.

"France just put a digital tax on our great American technology companies. If anybody taxes them, it should be their home Country, the US," Mr Trump wrote on Twitter.

"We will announce a substantial reciprocal action on Macron's foolishness shortly. I've always said American wine is better than French wine!"
