France has publicly pushed back against President Trump’s “Board of Peace” initiative—and Trump responded with a tariff shock threat aimed straight at one of France’s most iconic exports: wine and champagne. According to reporting, Trump threatened 200% tariffs in an apparent bid to pressure President Emmanuel Macron after France signaled it would not join the Board of Peace.
In this video, we break down the full fallout:
The “Fatal Mistake” Moment: Why France is refusing the invitation—and why European officials view the “Board of Peace” structure as incompatible with core legal principles.
Wine Tariffs Escalation: What Trump threatened, why wine/champagne are being used as leverage, and how quickly this could hit producers if it moves from threat to policy.
France Fires Back: After Trump made claims about pressuring France on drug prices using tariff threats, French officials called the story “fake news,” signaling this fight is now political, economic, and personal.
Why the U.S. Market Matters: The U.S. is a major market for French wine and spirits, and analysis suggests a tariff at this level could effectively price much of it out overnight.
What Happens Next: Whether this becomes a full EU-U.S. trade clash, and how France/EU could respond if Trump turns the threat into action.

Let’s give Donald a billion dollars so he can build up his bank accounts, like he did with the five oil tankers he sold and banked the money to his account. Gaza will be rebuilt but we can’t let Trump organize the rebuild. A criminal is a criminal so we need someone that we can trust to orchestrate this rebuild and the rebuild of Ukrainian territory 😮
Canadians are not giving Tyrant Trump a billion dollars for anything please tip the Canadian seat please.
