Former US President Donald Trump threatened to impose a 200% tariff on French wines and champagnes in response to Emmanuel Macron's refusal to join his "Peace Council". Macron responded negatively to the invitation, reaffirming France's commitment to the UN Charter. Furthermore, Macron is considering activating European mechanisms for retaliation in the event of economic pressure from the US. Trump has also invited Vladimir Putin and King Mohammed VI of Morocco to the council.
