France 24—France's 3% levy on US tech giants including Apple, Amazon, and Alphabet has been in force since 2019, and Trump issued the ultimatum directly ahead of the G7 summit hosted by France in Évian-les-Bains. Trump told the New York Post he has 'no choice' but to act if France doesn't back down.
