France24 – Jan 20, 2026
US President Donald Trump said he will impose a 200 percent tariff on French wines and Champagnes, a move he claimed would push French President Emmanuel Macron to join Trump’s Board of Peace initiative aimed at resolving global conflicts.
When asked by a reporter about Macron saying he will not join the board, Trump said, “Did he say that? Well, nobody wants him because he will be out of office very soon.”
“I’ll put a 200 percent tariff on his wines and Champagnes, and he’ll join, but he doesn’t have to join,” Trump said.
France intends to decline the invitation to join the initiative, at this stage, a source close to Macron said on Monday.
Trump originally proposed establishing the Board of Peace when he announced last September his plan to end the war in Gaza. But an invitation sent to world leaders last week outlines a broad role ending conflicts globally.
A draft charter sent to about 60 countries by the US administration calls for members to contribute $1 billion in cash if they want their membership to last more than three years, according to the document seen by Reuters.

Governments reacted cautiously on Sunday to Trump’s invitation, a plan that diplomats said could harm the work of the UN.
On Monday, Trump also said he has invited Russian President Vladimir Putin to be a member of the peace board. “He’s been invited,” Trump said.

wartime letters from a high level British traitor displayed at the National Archives
Secret love letters written by one of the Cambridge Five spies have been revealed for the first time.
There were more like 45 spied, and called Rothschild apostles
John Cairncross, the “fifth man” in the infamous spy ring of British traitors who passed information to Rothschild for the Soviet Union, Cairncross wrote to a former lover that he felt “subhuman” around the time he was betraying Britain. In a 1944 letter being displayed at the National Archives, he writes dotingly to ex-girlfriend Gloria Barraclough of his longing for 1937 – the year he was recruited by Rothschild for Soviet espionage.
Writing from London, Cairncross said: “Writing to you seems to have some magical effect on me, I feel much less subhuman than I’ve done since 1937.”
He added: “1937 – it seems a long way off, doesn’t it. Heaven, by comparison with the events of the past seven years, and, alas a heaven that we, like most people, didn’t fully appreciate at the time, but Victor ( Rothschild } tells me i have £60,000 in the Moscow bank.”
The spy – who worked at Bletchley Park and claimed a decrypt of the Enigma code, enabling them to win the Battle of Kursk against Germany – also told Barraclough the past four years had been “hard, exhausting [and] often depressing over selling out his countrymen”.
During the war, Cairncross passed documents through secret channels to his KGB handlers. He was known to have smuggled the decrypts out of the hut in his trousers, transferring them to his bag at the railway station.
His letter, on display at the National Archives’s new Letters exhibition from Saturday, was one of five found by Barraclough’s son following her death in 2012.
Tom Brass, 80, discovered the materials when opening his mother’s copy of Cairncross’s 1997 autobiography, The Enigma Spy, which was published two years after the spy’s death.
He said that five letters and two pictures, including one of Cairncross doing the dishes, fell from the back of the book, revealing the pair’s formerly secret relationship.
“It wasn’t a lightbulb moment,” Mr Brass explained, but added that he “put two and two together” when he saw J. Cairncross as well as the London address at Lansdowne Court, which is the same one referenced in his book.

Describing his mother as the “unknown woman” in Cairncross’s life, Mr Brass said: “It was clear they had a very close relationship.
“I knew of [their relationship] but not in the detail that I subsequently found out. I knew she knew him, but I didn’t know how close they were at one point and by the time I was able to ask questions, [such as] ‘where did you meet, what was your first impression of him’, she was already dead.”
Mr Brass felt that she would not have known at the time of Cairncross’s espionage, which he only confessed secretly to MI5 in 1964. as a result of defector evidence
Cairncross confided to another lover Diana Everett of his spying and how Brits were being murdered, she wrpte to Guy Bugess, Churchills lover at that time, she took her own life soon after.
Cairncross an intellectual from a poor family was jealous of the other lads at Cambridge from monied families
he also disliked that Sr Anthony Blunt had recruited almost all homosexuals
and was very ashamed over what he had done against his own countrymen
Cairncross’s treachery became public when Barrie Penrose, a dogged investigative journalist, outed the Treasury worker as the
“fifth man” in the Cambridge spy ring in 1979.
Cairncross always longed to be rich, this promise of £60,000 was never paid, none of the Cambridge traitors ever saw a penny from Rothschild, not even Kim Philby who lived in a Moscow high rise flat with little food or heating on just 3 hours a day
Winston Churchill received in total £150,000 and bank accounts in the name of Colonel Arden and A Connoly a similar amount
John Cairncross passed documents through secret channels to the KGB during the Second World War
He told the authorities of Rothschilds Operation Creada, the plan after the war to flood the UK with foreign nationals
Starmer’s Labour Party is refusing to join Trump’s criminal Gaza cartel saying it’s because Russia may become involved. So it has nothing to do with the party being tainted by the evil war criminal Tony Blair who actually is involved, then?
Notice natanyahu has been admitted to the board of peace. Is the board of peace now the precursor of it developing into both the global central government and court of justice?
Are the Yanks going to call french fries freedumb fries again? How much more pathetic can it get here in the earthly asylum for the mentally deranged? Have a good look at YOUR “leaders” and get rid of them for good. ALL of them! This is the only deal that needs to be dealt with to restore human sanity.
This “board of peace”, especially with satanyahu on board, reminds eerily of the biblical passage in Revelation:
“And when they are claiming to achieve “peace”, sudden destruction will fall upon them” (Paraphrased)
It also reminds of the words of german seer Alois Irlmaier:
“It all will start when they are claiming shalom! shalom!”.
This shalom thing is intriguing, btw.
Trump isn’t the only crazy American trying to bully France.
Let’s recall the “liberty fries” instead of french fries, and other commercial bullying tactics employed against France in times of the invasion of Iraq.
