Donald Trump on Monday, January 19 threatened 200% tariffs on French wine and champagne over France’s intentions to decline the US leader’s invitation to join his “board of peace.” The board was originally conceived to oversee the rebuilding of war-torn Gaza, but the charter does not appear to limit its role to the occupied Palestinian territory.

“I’ll put a 200% 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.

The board’s charter “goes beyond the sole framework of Gaza,” the source close to the French president said.

    Lol, Trump making a “Bored of Peace” is such a fucking joke. I hope this bloated narcissistic psychic vampire shits himself to death on camera and his family gets nuremburg’d. I’ve gone my whole life believing that no one should be subject to capital punishment but I’m starting to believe these undead cockroaches need to be made an example of.

    I have a bottle of real French champagne for when this evil imbecile pedofile dies. Please help us Europe boycott these Zionist oligarchs and dump the bonds. Don’t join the genocide profiteering Palestine rebuild.

    I will always prefer a traditional French wine over this modern punch with artificial colors and whatelse there can be found from „the land of freedom”.
