PARIS (AP) — France is pushing ahead with a landmark tax on tech giants like Google and Facebook despite U.S. President Donald Trump's threats of retaliatory tariffs on French wine.

After Trump slammed the "foolishness" of the tax in a tweet Friday and promised reciprocal action, French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire said "France will implement" it anyway.
