00:00U.S. President Donald Trump has threatened to impose a 200 percent tariff on French wine and

00:07champagne. The decision comes after French President Emmanuel Macron said France did not

00:13plan on accepting the invite to join Trump's proposed Board of Peace for Gaza. The board was

00:19initially an idea proposed by Trump as part of his plan to end the war in Gaza, although it now

00:24seems aimed at mediating global conflict. The U.S. President has extended invitations to dozens

00:30of countries, including Russia and China. However, there are fears the board could undermine the United

00:36Nations framework. I'll do as if they feel like Kosto. I'll put a 200 percent tariff on his wines

00:43and champagnes and he'll join. But he doesn't have to join. If he said that, you're probably giving it

00:49to me a little bit differently. But if he actually did say that, but as you know, he's going to be

00:54out of office there for your money. In a separate incident, Trump also published a private text

00:59message from Macron on his true social platform. In it, the French President invited Trump to dinner

01:05in Paris on Thursday. He also said he'd invite the Ukrainians, the Danes, the Syrians and Russians.

01:12Macron also said he did not understand what the U.S. President was, quote, doing on Greenland.
