Donald Trump has threatened a 200% tariff on French wine and Champagne. This action is in response to France's reported refusal to accept Trump's invitation to join his "Board of Peace." Trump stated that the tariff would pressure France to reconsider its decision.
Donald Trump on Monday threatened 200 per cent 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.
