"President Trump is reportedly considering slapping tariffs on French wine to protect U.S. winemakers. In an interview Monday, the president said French wine is imported into the U.S. at near-zero tariffs, which poses tough competition to domestic producers.

He went on to say American wineries, particularly in California, have complained about this alleged abuse of free trade. The U.S. and the EU are gearing up for talks on a trade agreement aimed at fixing trade imbalances by increasing U.S. exports."

He is playing the economic shark card to pressure France who has a weak protested leadership, and Notre Dame incident to go for blood.  He could give two turds about California or Pelosi's winery.
