US President Donald Trump vowed "substantial" retaliation against France on Friday for a tax targeting US tech giants, threatening to slap tariffs on French wine and blasting President Emmanuel Macron's "foolishness."
"France just put a digital tax on our great American technology companies," Trump tweeted about the law, which targets US giants like Google, Apple, Facebook and Amazon.
"We will announce a substantial reciprocal action on Macron's foolishness shortly," he said.
Later, he confirmed earlier hints that wine may be the target.
"Might be on wine or something else," he told reporters.
Trump, a proud teetotaler, said he'd "always liked American wines better than French wines even though I don't drink."
