France’s #trade minister has reacted to Trump’s threat of tariffs on wine exports from France to the U.S. This came even though the U.S. #President scrapped plans to apply the trade policy against certain EU nations amid the dispute over Greenland.
French Minister Rebuffs Trump tariff threats, Warns of retaliation
According to a Bloomberg report, the French trade minister, Nicolas Forissier, criticized the threat by #Donald Trump to impose heavy tariffs on alcohol exports from the nation of France.
He made it clear that Paris would not think twice about retaliatory action should these policies be put into place. Forissier told Davos that the idea to use tariffs on culturally or economically significant items is, to us, unacceptable.
Trump had threatened to impose a 200% levy on French wine and champagne when President #Macron refused to join his “Board of Peace.” It was later shared that the United States is stepping back from the Trump tariffs plans targeting European nations that were against his goal of acquiring Greenland. However, the French authorities are holding their ground.
“It’s not acceptable to have this kind of weapon, taking some sectors which are very symbolic and important for us as hostage, this is not acceptable and if it was done there would be some responses,” Forissier said.
Before Trump’s partial retreat, France was among the European countries pushing a hard collective response. Forissier conceded that consensus within the EU remains difficult to achieve. Member states are divided on how aggressively to respond to the Trump tariff threats.
EU Trade War Cools, But France Threat Remains
Trade wars between the US and #Europe appeared to ease yesterday. Yesterday, the U.S President announced a delay of the implementation of the imposed duties against some European countries. This was meant to take effect beginning February 1.
Trump made the announcement after holding productive talks with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, according to the president. The news also provided a short-term positive effect on the market, and the cryptocurrency market turned green.
The European Union had suspended its trade agreement, which it had reached with the U.S., due to the recent tariff threats made by Trump.
Although currently in freeze mode, a strong indication was given that if this threat of tariffs manifests itself in reality, the response would be quite strong. The Board for Peace, led by President Trump, has been duly established through an agreement with world leaders.

#Taiwan and United States have settled to decrease the U.S tariffs on Taiwanese products to 15%. The deal comes at a time when the Supreme Court withholds a decision defining the power that President #Donald Trump has on levying tariffs.
Taiwan Reaches Deal With Trump To Cut Tariffs
According to a Bloomberg report, the deal will reduce the tariff that is currently at 20%. The new rate will put Taiwan on the same footing as its allies Japan and South Korea who managed to negotiate similar rates last year.
Other than tariff removal, the deal has several significant promises from the semiconductor industry in Taiwan. The investment of Taiwanese chip companies on U.S. activities would amount to approximately $500 billion for advanced production and increase supply chain.
Hence, the chipmaker will construct at least five additional fabrication plants in Arizona, which will give the company approximately a double of its manufacturing presence in the state.
What Are The Effects Of Trump Tariffs On Nationwide Security?
Taiwan is a global leader in the manufacture of high-level semiconductors employed in AI and defense industry as well as data centers. The rate of trade negotiations has been picking up after the broad tariffs implemented by Trump on several trading partners last year.
The Trump government presents the deal as a national security priority. The officials seek to decrease the U.S. dependency on foreign chip manufacturing in the face of increasing tensions of geopolitical scale.
The government has also indicated that it was ready to reduce rates in a tradeoff for strategic investments in the country. The time is significant because the Supreme Court could lower Trump’s tariff powers to impose tariffs.
The judges once again refused to give a judgment on January 14, pushing the ruling to January 16. The case before the court revolves around whether the President Trump has the authority to impose tariffs based off emergency economic reasons. If the decision goes against the Trump administration, it may restrain future action of tariffs or require refunds.
Will Trump Tariffs Be Blocked By Supreme Court?
However, White House advisor Kevin Hassett referenced substitutes to tariffs in case of Supreme Court obstruction. The ruling to a wider risk sentiment in the equities, commodities or crypto markets.
There is anticipation that tariff clarity can affect inflation expectations and interest rate policy under the Trump regime. Over one third of Taiwan export is semiconductors. By lowering tariffs during the Trump administration, the U.S. can enjoy stronger industrial ties along with seamless trade flows
