While the United States absorbs each year a fifth of French wines and spirits exports, making the U.S the buyer for French wines, the latest release of Donald Trump is not to reassure French producers.
Barely returned from the D-Day celebrations in Normandy, where he did not raise the subject in front of the media, the US president has indeed hinted, during an interview with CNBC on June 10, that he could increase tax on French wines import.
"France taxes wine a lot and we tax little French wine," said Donald Trump during this interview. And outbid: "This country (the United States) allows French wine - who is very good - (...) to come in for nothing. It's not fair, we're going to do something to fix that "...
Will your favorite French Bourgogne or Bordeaux be more expensive ?
Wait and see...
