Donald Trump’s new tariff threat is not about wine, it’s about leverage
In this Daniel Reeves briefing, we break down the reported 200% tariff threat targeting French wine and champagne and why it’s being framed as pressure on Emmanuel Macron to join a proposed “Board of Peace”
We walk through how tariff threats work as political coercion, how Europe could respond using its anti-coercion tools, and what this moment reveals about power, sovereignty, and the quiet weaponization of everyday prices
Then we bring it back to what matters for you, who pays first, who benefits, and what this signals about the next phase of U.S.–EU tensions
If you care about rule of law, accountability, and protecting working people from elite games played with trade and headlines, you’re in the right place
