The United States may introduce duties on goods from France in the amount of $ 2.4 billion

This is stated in a statement published on the website of the US trade mission.

It is noted that the investigation of the department showed that the French tax is "discriminatory against US digital companies such as Google, Apple, Facebook and Amazon."

As specified, in response, the United States is considering the possibility of introducing duties of up to 100% in respect of French imports, which is estimated at $ 2.4 billion.

In late July, U.S. leader Donald Trump said Washington will retaliate against France’s digital tax on US companies.
