The French trade minister, Nicolas Forissier, has strongly condemned US President Donald Trump's threats to impose tariffs on champagne. Forissier stated that France would retaliate if Trump were to carry out these threats, which the minister described as unacceptable. The dispute stems from a long-running trade conflict between the US and the European Union, with the Trump administration threatening to levy tariffs on a range of European products, including French champagne. Forissier has called on the US president to stop these threats, emphasizing that such actions would be detrimental to both sides. The French government has made it clear that it will not hesitate to take retaliatory measures if the US follows through on its champagne tariff plans. This ongoing trade dispute highlights the growing tensions between the two sides and the potential for further escalation if a resolution is not found.
