G7 embarrassment for Trump begins: Macron seizes Hormuz security role, brushes off tariff threats?

A tense showdown is brewing at the G7 summit as French President Emmanuel Macron publicly pushed back against Donald Trump's threat of 100% tariffs on French wine and champagne. Speaking ahead of key talks on Iran and the Strait of Hormuz, Macron insisted France would not change its laws under American pressure and warned that tariffs hurt both sides. The clash comes as Paris prepares possible naval deployments to help secure Hormuz following a U.S.-Iran agreement. With trade disputes, Ukraine, NATO and Middle East tensions colliding, the G7 could become a battleground for Trump's foreign policy.
