It’s not a fine, it’s a tax disguised as a fine. A protectionist tax France selectively imposes on a successful company from a successful industry based in a foreign country to prop up a dying industry from their own country.

The actual solution here is in politics: USA should respond symmetrically, by fining/taxing some large French conglomerate doing business in US.
