January 20 News, U.S. President Donald Trump publicly threatened on Tuesday that if French President Emmanuel Macron refuses to join the so-called "Peace Committee" established for the Gaza issue, the United States will impose tariffs of up to 200% on French wine and champagne. This statement quickly drew international attention and was seen as a new signal of renewed tensions in U.S.-Europe relations. Trump bluntly stated in Miami when asked by reporters that Macron "will be out of office soon," so whether he joins the committee "does not matter." He also claimed that increasing tariffs would force France to change its stance and use this as a means of pressure. The related remarks were interpreted by the outside world as directly linking trade policy with geopolitical issues.
