PARIS (Reuters) - Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire said on Saturday that France would proceed with taxing revenues of big technology firms and urged the United States not to bring trade tariffs into the debate on how to fairly raise levies on digital services. Le Maire was responding to U.S. President Donald Trump’s threat to tax French wines in retaliation for France’s digital services tax, which he says unjustly targets U.S. companies. “It’s in our interest to have a fair digital tax,” Le Maire told reporters, speaking in English. “Please do not mix the two issues. The key question now is how we can we get consensus on fair taxation of digital activities.”

Your Muslims will destroy all your Vineyards and plant Poppies ,Soon
Easy, Froggie! Don’t tax digital and your wine tarriffs don’t go up.
Comprendez vous?
I think it should all be mixed into one large Tariff.
LOLOL
France keeps choosing very poorly.
It was warned to not do this, and
French wine will soon be in the toilet, n’est pas?
..“Please do not mix the two issues.."
Those frenchies and their twisted logic.
A tariff by any other name is still a tax.
I don’t know how terrible it would be for fakebook, googoo, and yoot-toob to be taxed our of existence. Tax away, France and make it HEAVY.
I've read screed from the America Second crowd on FR about how tariffs don't work. Interesting.
French
Why should Trump care that Jeff Bezos and Google are being taxed? They both hate him. We should be taxing them as well.
Stop telling us what to do France.
Without the US, theyd be speaking german.
Sit down and stfu froggies.
This reminds me of how liberals love to say in FB debates, “why are you bringing up these other issues” so they can still carry their contradictions. They seem to be saying, “I was making a very narrow point!”
That said, we're NOT going to save you from the Islamic invaders. They'll be tearing out your centuries-old vinyards, and replacing them with poppies like you said.
Drink Beer
Drink Bourbon.
And if you must, America, I understand there is fine American made wines.
Buy American wine and enjoy it and the whines coming from France as their expensive mouthwash ages even more in France.
Ask the ChiComs about how our tariffs are kicking their economic butt.
Exactly.
“I understand there is fine American made wines”
IF you’re into “fruit forward” wine.
And just about anyone can taste the difference.
That said, I can give it up.
But I just can’t stand idly by while folks talk about US wine being “just as good”.
Yes, it CAN be at the $200-$300 level. But for anything below $50 there is NO CONTEST.
And what are you going to do about it if he does? Cry to Mommy?
