U.S. President Donald Trump mocked French President Emmanuel Macron during a rally in Georgia, recounting what he described as a tense tariff standoff over French wine and champagne exports.
Trump told supporters he warned Macron that unless France raised certain trade measures, the United States would impose a 100% tariff on French wine and champagne. According to Trump, the pressure worked — claiming Macron ultimately agreed rather than risk heavier economic consequences.
Trump also said he made similar calls to leaders in Germany and Spain, arguing that tariff leverage reshaped trade negotiations in America’s favor.
The remarks mark the latest instance of Trump publicly mocking Macron, highlighting ongoing friction over trade policy and transatlantic economic disputes.
