Donald Trump seemingly disclosed a private message he received from French President Emmanuel Macron before announcing the possibility of imposing 200% tariffs on French wine and Champagne. Trump mentioned that the tariffs could influence Macron to join his “Board of Peace,” which aims to address global disputes. In response to Macron’s statement about not participating in the board, Trump remarked that Macron might not be wanted as he would soon be out of office.
