Trump Threatens 200% Tariff on French Wine Over Macron's 'Board of Peace' Stance

• Donald Trump threatened a 200% tariff on French wine and champagne after President Emmanuel Macron showed reluctance to join Trump's proposed 'Board of Peace'.
• The 'Board of Peace' was initially presented for Gaza's rebuilding, but its broader, undefined scope is a concern for European allies.
• A French official source confirmed France's disinterest, citing the board's charter extending beyond Gaza and its undefined powers.
• Trump confirmed that Russian President Vladimir Putin has also been invited to join the 'Board of Peace'.
• This move highlights Trump's strategy of using trade pressure as a foreign policy tool, linking economic consequences to geopolitical cooperation.

Why It Matters: Trump uses tariff threats on French wine to pressure Macron into joining his broadly defined 'Board of Peace'.
