Caption: Trump Threatens 200% Tariffs on French Wine After Macron Rejects Gaza Peace Board. U.S. President Donald Trump has threatened to slap 200 percent tariffs on French wine and Champagne after French President Emmanuel Macron refused to join a U.S.-backed “Board of Peace” focused on Gaza. Trump made the remarks after learning that Macron declined the offer over concerns about the board’s powers. Dismissing the French leader, Trump said Macron lacked influence and claimed he would soon be out of office - According to Politico. He added that heavy tariffs on French alcohol could pressure France to change its stance. French officials quickly pushed back, saying trade threats to influence foreign policy are unacceptable and ineffective. The board, announced by Trump last week, is part of his plan to end the war between Israel and Hamas and would be chaired by Trump himself. Several controversial leaders have reportedly been invited, raising unease among some countries. France said it rejected the proposal over fears it could undermine the United Nations framework and go far beyond governing Gaza alone.
