Trump responds to Emmanuel Macron ‘Board of Peace’ snub with the only threat he has in his pocket these days

Donald Trump has shifted his focus to ensuring that his proposed “Board of Peace” is accepted and endorsed by major Western powers. But as the mystery surrounding the intergovernmental organization grows, some leaders have already announced that they will not join. Trump was recently told that Emmanuel Macron will opt out — to which Trump suggested he would retaliate with a 200% tariff on French wine.

Trump has been on a recent onslaught against NATO allies. He has made it no secret that he fully intends to twist the arms of Denmark and the entire EU, if necessary, to get his hands on Greenland. That is where Europe’s relationship with Trump has specifically soured. There’s an upcoming meeting at Davos this Thursday, and there, with all the NATO powers, Trump wants the full constitution of the Board of Peace completed and signed by the member states.
