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.
Oh, honey… Go touch grass. We aren’t your enemy.
Do you have any semblance of an idea of what it is like to be against Trump and live in the United States right now?
Go ask Renee good’s family, you condescending ignoranus.
“we are not your enemy. But if my government attacks you I won’t do anything because Washington is very far away and I have to work tomorrow”
You are among those that allowed it to come to this. All Americans are responsible for failing to do more, as it is the entirety of American society. Although everybody is not equally responsible of course.
Countries have the governments they deserve
Especially when it’s a democracy, although USA always was a dysfunctional democracy, the people did have the power to prevent Trump.
