Trump threatens 200% tariffs on French wine over ‘Board of Peace’

US President Donald Trump has threatened to impose a 200% tariff on French wine and champagne. The decision comes after French President Emmanuel Macron said France did not plan on accepting the invite to join Trump's proposed Board of Peace for Gaza. The board was initially an idea proposed by Trump as part of his plan to end the war in Gaza although it now seems aimed at mediating global conflicts. The US president has extended invitations to dozens of countries, including Russia and China, however there are fears the board could undermine the United Nations framework. What I'll do is if they feel like Kostal, I'll put a 200% tariff on his wines and champagnes and he'll join. But he doesn't have to join, if he said that you're probably giving it to me a little bit differently but if he actually did say that, but as you know he's going to be out of office in a few months. In a separate incident, Trump also published a private text message from Macron on his true social platform. In it, the French president invited Trump to dinner in Paris on Thursday. He also said he'd invite the Ukrainians, the Danes, the Syrians and Russians. Macron also said he did not understand what the US president was quote, doing on Greenland.
