Trump agrees to hold off on massive tariffs on wine and other French goods -- for now

Trump had threatened the new duties in retaliation for a tax slapped on revenue earned in France by American tech firms such as Facebook and Google.Wine importers, along with other businesses that sell French products in the US, had protested the plans, saying the expected 100% tariff would cost American jobs and gut their livelihoods.

Trump's tariffs on European wine have American businesses begging for reliefThe White House said Monday that Trump spoke with French President Emmanuel Macron and"agreed it is important to complete successful negotiations on the digital services tax," though did not confirm his decision to hold off on tariffs for now.Macron tweeted he had a"great discussion" with Trump. Read More"We will work together on a good agreement to avoid tariff escalation," he wrote.

Why would he hold off on doing something harmful to our economy? Doesn't sound right. recheck story.

I buy nothing that is French. Everything I need is right here. If there was something I needed and it was only available there then I would buy it.

What’s the point of these random tariffs? Are we flooded with French wine and cheese?

Probably one of the outcomes of E3 triggering the JCPOA Dispute Resolution Mechanism under Trump’s threats!

Es un gilipollas

Holding off on tariffs for wine and handbags... hmmm. Who buys French wine and French handbags... always looking out for the average American gop maga

But he won’t get to fix the problem he created...he is going to wait until after the elections

President Flip Flop at it again...all talk and no action...maybe some more sanctions for some Countries...oooo weee...

Wonder what personal favor he asked this time...

Tomorrow we will see CNN AND HOW DEMONIC THEY ARE

Macron will be Magone this year

The carrot or the stick game, doesn't ever get old

All bark and no bite. Donald, the great pretender.

What does he care, he doesn't drink shitty wine anyway.

Trump's solution to everything is tax American s

The Art of the Deal

Doesn’t he know most of his voters drink wine from a box?

Surprise 🙄🙄🙄

freethewine

Just bowing down and kissing the ring of the almighty works

French wine is 💩, buy American

It's almost as if this impeached conman knows that his trade wars are hurting his re-electability.

I guess France is gonna start hacking our elections for trump too

Handbags or man-bags? Tapper must be horrified of losing his man-bag.

Sounds like some more of that legal Quid Pro Quo. France’s support against Iran or Tariff the heck out of their imports...

Wine importers in US and other businesses that sell French products had protested the plan saying the 100% tariff would cost American jobs and gut their livelihoods.

There's probably a French commitment to uphold sanctions on Iran.

Once again, Trump will claim to fix a problem that he created.

So he caved, again.....

Stick the tariffs to all the European countries now. Weak socialist

Yes because with Agent Orange in charge we need all the wine we can get.

Trump causes chaos and uncertainty... then pulls back and calls it a victory for himself. Do we see a pattern here?!

Desperate for friends

This is a trade deal I can support

Trump doing the work of the American people! Despite the corrupt democrats and their unfair and sham of an impeachment, investigate Nancy Pelosi!

ne0liberal wins again

loving these example french goods

What about hamberders?

Trump lawyers: Impeachment is 'attack' on Americans right to choose their presidentPresident Trump’s lawyers filed an official response to the impeachment summons. Sources close to Trump’s legal team say they will claim the president did not commit any crime, and that the articles of impeachment are an “attack on the right of the American people to freely choose their president.” Hahaha, talk about scrapping the bottom of the barrel. RepRATS, GOP and IMPEACHED 45TH SCUM IN CHIEF ARE DESPERATE..... He didn't win the popular vote. Not that free and it comes with a price. As someone without any legal training, I can unequivocally state that this is the dumbest god damn defense that can be made. It will work on his base, yet any American with a brain sees right through this bullshit.

Trump Lawyers Argue No President Can Be Impeached for Any Abuse of Power'The authoritarian conviction that Trump believes as a matter of instinct has [now] been sanctified as a formal legal theory, endorsed by presidential lawyers' He doesn’t care about other presidents just himself. 😒😒😡😡 The article, to dramatically announce an 'attack' on the constitution, spins the President's response beyond recognition. The response states that the articles of impeachment do not provide proof of an impeachable crime, not that a President cannot be impeached. jonathanchait Most criminals would love it if they were immune from prosecution for their crimes. There is a provision in the Constitution precisely because the Founders believed Presidents shouldn't have immunity, that they could be removed for misconduct.
