Eliseo: ‘Trump’s threats of tariffs on wine and champagne are unacceptable’

Milan, 20 January (LaPresse) – French President Emmanuel Macron’s entourage told Bfmtv that it had ‘taken note’ of US President Donald Trump’s statement threatening to impose 200% tariffs on French wines and champagne to force France to join the Gaza Peace Board, a statement it described as ‘unacceptable and ineffective’. Informed on Monday evening that Macron would probably not participate in the Board of Peace, Trump said of Macron: ‘I will impose a 200% tariff on his wines and champagne, and he will participate.’ ‘No one wants him because he will soon no longer be in office,’ he added.
