Donald Trump threatened to impose crushing tariffs on French wine and champagne after the country’s leader said he wouldn’t be signing up to the president’s United Nations knock-off.
News broke over the weekend that the 79-year-old is creating an international “Board of Peace” chaired by none other than Trump himself, who would handpick the organization’s members, approve the group’s agenda, and designate his own successor.
Trump would also control the board’s funds, including a $1 billion entry fee for countries seeking permanent membership. The group is ostensibly being created to oversee reconstruction in Gaza, but nothing in the charter mentions Gaza or guarantees the funds would be used there.
