‼️🇺🇸🇫🇷 Breaking News : Trump Threatens 200% Tariffs on French Wine and Champagne to Pressure Macron into Joining Gaza ‘Board of Peace’

US President Donald Trump has threatened to impose 200% tariffs on French wines and champagnes if French President Emmanuel Macron continues to refuse an invitation to join the US-led “Board of Peace” a proposed international body to oversee the Israel-Hamas ceasefire, Gaza reconstruction, and broader global conflict resolution….

Speaking to reporters before departing for Washington, Trump dismissed Macron’s stance, stating: “Nobody wants him because he’s going to be out of office very soon.” He added that if France acts “hostile,” he would apply the massive tariffs, claiming it would force Macron to reconsider: “I’ll put a 200% tariff on his wines and champagnes, and he’ll join. But he doesn’t have to join.”

The comments follow reports that Macron’s team has indicated France is unlikely to accept the invitation “at this stage,” citing concerns that the board’s charter extends beyond Gaza and could undermine UN principles and institutions. Trump has also confirmed inviting Russian President Vladimir Putin to the board, which he chairs and which received UN Security Council endorsement late last year as part of his broader Gaza peace plan.

This latest flare-up highlights strained US-France relations amid Trump’s pushes on issues like Greenland control and trade leverage with European allies.
