PARIS/LONDON - France and the European Union said on Tuesday they were ready to retaliate if U.S. President Donald Trump acted on a threat to impose duties of up to 100% on imports of champagne, handbags and other French products worth $2.4 billion.
“They’re American companies. They’re tech companies. They’re not my favorite people, but that’s OK, I don’t care, they’re American companies. And we want to tax American companies. It’s not for somebody else to tax them,” Trump said. On Tuesday, U.S. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross said the French tax was a “very radical notion, putting a tax on revenues as opposed to a tax on earnings” and was aimed at raising French revenues to aid its budget deficits.See more stories
Macron’s finance minister called the tariff threat unacceptable and said the EU was primed to respond if the United States imposed the new tariffs.
Why cant USA mind their own business?

'If anyone's going to take advantage of American companies it's going to be us' WOW 1. He thinks ME ... Not Us 2. WE DO NOT 'Take advantage of American companies' We HELP American companies JesusChrist Liberals & Conservatives Republicans & Democrats ReligiousFreedom
He’s like a caricature of a spoiled rich kid pouting in a room full of toys
Well, America cannot be fooled because it has a monopoly on cheating Others. And it lacks the Cold War. A few more years of such 'intelligent rule' and America will become a whipping boy, without prestige and technological advantages . And citing an imaginary 'god' won't help.👹
Who would you want to watch your economy Trump or some that can’t figure what day it is
If today polosi signs the USMCA, Trump will praise her to high heavens as even better that Ryan Paul. If Macron stops his taxes on America tech companies watch how macron will be the best president after Charles D. The list is long. That is the Trump people fail to understand.
People just fail to understand Trump. He has no enemy or friends . His is all about his is agenda which at this time is to ensure America remains the greatest, wealthiest &record setting. So anyone, friends or foe that crosses those lines he attacks & he praises those that help.
Now tell me who is fighting for Americans if not Trump. I Trust Trump so much that I know with him he will stand to ensure America is not duped and cheated by anyone, friends or foes. Regardless the political incorrectness. He is not a man that allows anyone to cheat America.
Looks like Trump has finally beat Bush's “Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we.” quote.
As the farmers, ranchers, and small/private business owners know all too well, you are good at taking advantage of American companies. We do need help from other countries, we do the damage ourselves.
Little Macro is too stupid for Donald, his little games always get found out.
so there
Well Said!
Oh good grief...
Until the world joins together to create severe economic sanctions against the U.S. nothing will change. Collectively stop all trade with the U.S. and see how long the Republican party continues to support Trump.
Do you so-called News People understand the meaning of the word 'If' ?
'if anyone's going to harm American institutions, it's gonna be me, not France!'
