French Finance Minister Bruno Lemerre said in a press statement that all options are available to respond to US President Donald Trump’s threats to impose tariffs on French products, adding that he would discuss trade tensions with US Treasury Secretary Stephen Minouchen later.
The French minister stressed that if the United States imposes customs duties on France, the EU will respond uniformly to protect it.
France’s Minister of Economic Affairs, Panier Rancher, has said in previous statements that her country is sticking to the taxation of technology giants despite threats by US President Donald Trump to impose tariffs on French products.
