The European Union (EU) will "respond in kind" if the U.S. imposes tariffs on France over a new French digital tax law, European Council President Donald Tusk said Saturday.
Tusk's comment at a press conference during the Group of Seven (G-7) economies summit in France followed a renewed threat by President Trump to put a tariff on imported French wines.
“I will protect French wine with genuine determination for many reasons,†Tusk said, according to Fox Business.
“The EU stands by France. If the U.S. imposes tariffs on France, the EU will respond in kind,†he added.
