00:00President Trump wants Emmanuel Macron on his Gaza Board of Peace.
00:05But the French president does not seem to be interested.
00:09It should come as no surprise.
00:10That President Trump does not take kindly to turning down his invitations.
00:15You have seen what happens when sports teams don't want to go to the White House, let alone an in.
00:20And his reaction to Macron's reluctance was very...
00:25I'll put a 200% tariff on his wines and champagnes, and he'll join.
00:30But he doesn't have to join us.
00:31Now, personally, I can think...
00:35I can think of nothing worse than that.
00:37At any rate, this is the second time Trump...
00:40...has made this exact same threat.
00:42The last time was this past March when he was in the middle of a trade...
00:45...war with the European Union.
00:46Now, Trump never went through with the wine and champagne tariff that...
00:50...that time, but even the possibility was enough to send shockwaves through the industry and...
00:55...through people like me.
00:56The United States is the biggest importer of European sports...
01:00...sparkling wines to the tune of $1.75 billion in...
01:05...in 2023, for instance.
01:07Now, it's not immediately clear how serious the...
01:10...threat was this time around because Trump also said this isn't about...
01:15...Makron not wanting to join the Board of Peace.
01:17Well, nobody wants him because he's going to be out of office very soon.
