According to the U.S. television news network (CNN), on January 19 local time, when talking about French President Macron's refusal to join the so-called Gaza "Peace Committee," U.S. President Trump responded, "No one wants him to join."
"No one wants him because he is about to leave office, so it doesn't matter anyway." Trump then threatened, "If he imposes a 200% tariff on French wine and champagne, he will join. But he may not necessarily have to join."
Trump previously announced the establishment of the so-called Gaza "Peace Committee," and the United States has sent invitations to leaders of 60 countries and international organizations. According to people close to Macron, he does not plan to accept the invitation, with the core reason being his belief that the scope of the committee's charter goes far beyond the Gaza issue itself, and raises many major concerns, especially whether the charter respects the principles and institutional framework of the United Nations, which France considers non-negotiable.
