Trump Threatens French Wine Tariff Over ‘Board of Peace’ Snub

Donald Trump on Monday threatened 200 percent tariffs on French wine and champagne over France’s intentions to decline the US leader’s invitation to join his “Board of Peace.”

“I’ll put a 200 percent tariff on his wines and champagnes. And he’ll join. But he doesn’t have to join,” Trump said, referring to French President Emmanuel Macron.

A source close to Macron told AFP on Monday that France “does not intend to answer favorably” to the invitation. (AFP)
