France will not give in "because that's not how it works. We have just concluded an agreement between Europe and the United States on tariffs." Macron told TF1. "Now, we need stability," he added.

According to U.S. media report, Trump is threatening France with 100 percent tariffs on wine, if Paris does not repeal its digital services tax.

"This digital tax was decided by the Europeans; several countries have implemented it; it is part of our law. It is not up to the United States to decide on the laws of Europeans or the French," the French president said.

The U.S. president is expected to attend the G7 summit on Monday in the French town of Evian.

"We will have a respectful but firm discussion" regarding the tariff threats, "it (tariff) does no one any good, especially tariffs between G7 countries," Macron said.
