WASHINGTON, June 15 (Xinhua) -- U.S. President Donald Trump threatened a 100 percent tariff on French wine and champagne unless France removes its digital services tax on U.S. tech companies, U.S. media reported on Monday.

Trump told the New York Post ahead of the summit of Leaders of the Group of Seven (G7) that he has asked French President Emmanuel Macron "not to charge American companies," otherwise he would "have no choice but to charge a 100% tariff on all champagnes and all wines coming out of France."
