On Tuesday, US President Donald Trump threatened to impose 200% tariffs on French wines and champagne, as did French President Emmanuel Macron. reportedly He is preparing to refuse to participate in the “Peace Board” in Gaza.
When asked to respond by a reporter in Miami, Trump said, “No one wants him because he’s going to be leaving office very soon. So, you know, it’s okay. What I’m going to do is… I’m going to put a 200% tariff on his wine and his champagne and he’s going to join. But he doesn’t have to join.”
Trump also reiterated plans to control Greenland, saying European leaders “won’t back down too much.”
“We have to have him… They can’t protect him,” he added.
