Former US President Donald Trump has threatened to impose a massive 200 percent tariff on French wine, escalating tensions between the United States and France. The warning followed a dispute linked to the so-called “Board of Peace,” which Trump claims is being used to undermine American interests.

Trump accused France of taking unfair positions and policies that could hurt the US economy and businesses. He argued that strong trade measures are sometimes necessary to protect American workers and industries, especially when diplomatic efforts fail to produce results.

The proposed tariff, if enforced, could significantly affect French wine exporters, as the United States remains one of their largest markets. Industry experts warn that such a move could lead to higher prices for consumers and possible retaliation from European partners.

So far, French officials have not issued a strong response, but analysts say the threat reflects broader trade tensions between the US and its allies. Observers believe the dispute could reopen old trade battles and further strain international economic relations.
