In return, Trump postponed the tariffs, effectively ending the trade war. https://www.politico.eu/article/trumps-latest-trade-war-french-champagne-vs-google-taxes/ https://www.irishtimes.com/business/economy/another-trade-war-is-brewing-this-time-between-france-and-the-us-1.4105611 https://www.nytimes.com/2020/01/21/business/france-US-digital-tax.html https://www.cnn.com/2020/01/20/politics/trump-french-wine-tariffs-macron/index.html
