Trump Threatens Tariffs on France

President Donald Trump threatened to place tariffs on French wine Friday via Twitter. The threat came after France introduced a new digital tax of three percent on all digital sales facilitated by multinational companies including Apple and Google. The French government has indicated that it would consider repealing the tax if a similar international tax was levied. Some left-leaning sources focused on Trump's perceived overuse of tariffs as a means for foreign trade negotiation. Some right-leaning media praised Trump for being tough on other countries who levy seemingly discriminatory tariffs against American companies.
