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.
What a pissant he is.
“Bored of piss”. Merde alors motherfucker.
It;s actually a good thing we can keep those fine wines for ourselves now. The Amercians have no taste whatsoever.
they just need a little ketchup, that’s all.
Oh gods, delete this shit right now. I do not claim this energy. The ketchup wine will have no place in my mind. Begone from me!
Didn’t the supre court said that those tariffs were ilegal and the government is going to reimburse like a trillion?
Also didn’t he try that a few years ago and French winemakers didn’t notice the difference?
Has the SCOTUS saying something is illegal stop him? He just does it anyway.
Oh noes!
Trump is having a speed-run on running the US into the ground as hard as possible. You clowns that voted this Nazi in 🤡👏
france;; line them up;;
Isn’t that extortion?
This gives us the possibility for one of the funniest ends to this, where Trump gets in a pissing match with Italy over something, tries to extort them with tariffs, and the Italian mob takes him out for trying to squeeze in on their territory.
is that still a crime? murder is only a crime if it happens to you.
So when are we tariffing the shit out of US products?
I’m sure every business in Europe suddenly having to pay 200% extra for Office 365 and mail handling will send them scrambling for a European alternative.
And they won’t go back once they’ve moved.
Yes please, let’s make foss default.
been reading about several mandating open source in government offices. due to low quality, low security microsoft crap. give them more reasons.
Where ever will we find another market for the best wine in the world?
Oh yeah you don’t wanna do what I tell you? Just watch me taxe my own citizens than!
Even worse I feel like the only people here that would drink that are Trump friends lol
Someone needs to punch him in the mouth.
Yep, the back of it with a flaming sword.
A peace board to which he invited Putin? No thanks, any halfway decent politician should keep away from this.
You forgot tue $1billion price tag.
That’s just the icing on top. I assume that money is supposed to go straight into Trumps pocket, too, and will not be used to finance that thing, or, heaven forbid, rescue, heal, feed, or house the victims.
Ok.
Great! They don’t deserve great wine.
They don’t need it. They’ve got Paul Masson.
“Mwahhh the French!”
“So just… say anything?”
