🇺🇸🇫🇷 Trump is threatening France with 100% tariffs on its wine unless it scraps its tax on American tech giants.
He says he took the warning straight to Macron over France's 3% digital levy, the one that hits Google, Apple, Meta, and Amazon.
"I have no choice but to charge a 100% tariff on all champagnes and all wines coming out of France. All he has to do is get rid of the sales tax."
The U.S. buys about a fifth of French wine exports, more than $2 billion a year, so the threat lands right where it hurts.
And it sets up a tense G7, just days after Macron's office swore the fight was already settled.

"Frankreich verhandelt mit seinen drei Partnern Deutschland, Italien und Spanien über seinen Ausstieg aus dem Eurodrone-Programm."
Nachdem man seit einer Weile an einer nationalen Alternative arbeiten, kommt das wenig überraschend.

@bundeskanzler@EmmanuelMacron Help Dassault and german company OHB to build the spaceship Vortex. Europe will be independant to go on orbit. The failure for Scaf will be forgotten.
Je suis heureux d’être à Évian aux côtés de mon ami @EmmanuelMacron. Ensemble, nous prenons des décisions importantes pour une Europe forte.
L’amitié franco-allemande est plus précieuse que jamais.
@Gubernaculum007 Trump has never called europe before to start his war and din't ask military help. europe has always called for a diplomatic solution. Trump failed to regain control of the uranium despite the bombings therefore it served to nothing for france to bomb Iran, to add more mess.
France’s Macron tells Trump that European forces are ready to deploy in Strait of Hormuz
Just like the week, French and other week allies now that the war is over, they’re ready to come to the aid of the end of the war. What a bunch of weak bastards. I wish we would cut off all money to these assholes. When their countries in distress, we’ll see if we ever come to their raid. What a bunch of pussies.

autonomous robot driving through the field at night. no chemicals. no pesticides. just UV light killing pathogens and pests while everyone sleeps. this is @tricrobotics.
this is what chemical-free pest control looks like at scale.
@MichaelBroecker@AirbusDefence Saab will have the same problem than Dassault if they share their know-how with Airbus DS. Airbus DS has big ambitions in the fighter jet sector. They want to become number one in Europe, at the expense of Dassault, Saab, or British companies.
Das Ende des Militärjets bei #FCAS ist „industriepolitische Realität“, sagt @AirbusDefence CEO Michael Schöllhorn. „Man muss auch dieselbe Idee vom Produkt haben.“ Schöllhorn will nun einen signifikanten Anteil des neuen Jets selbst bauen.

@MichaelBroecker@AirbusDefence Airbus DS has put the mess when airbus spain has entered the programme. They wanted 2 votes and to take the know-how of dassault for free. Airbus wants to be a hard competitor of dassault for fighter jet in the futur.
@fuzzyfamily1@IssMePle@FoxNews For Iran , france and europe have put sanctions vs Iran since 2010's. President Trump had stopped in 2018 the agreement USA-Europe-Russia-china -Iran to stop their nuclear programm. After 2018 Iran began to enrich more and more uranium. Who is responsible ?
@IssMePle@FoxNews You mean our Ally "France"

Ukrainian President Zelenskyy says he had a "great conversation" with President Trump during a phone call on Trump's 80th birthday as the two leaders prepare to meet at G7 this week in France.
"I congratulated President Trump on his birthday, and we have had quite a detailed discussion about many key things – peace, surely, was among them. I wished President Trump every success, above all in his work to end Russia’s war against Ukraine," Zelenskyy said.
