US President Donald Trump lashed out at France for unfair tariffs on "great" American wine.

Trump, who famously does not drink alcohol, said he would work to open the European market, again accusing France of creating unfair trade barriers to US wine exports.

"France charges us a lot for the wine and yet we charge them very little for French wine," Trump said on CNBC.

US producers complain that French wines get to American shelves "for nothing," he said, adding "it's not fair and we'll do something about it." "We have great wine, too."
