By Louise Rasmussen PARIS, Jan 21 (Reuters) - France rejected as "fake news" on Wednesday Donald Trump's assertion that he had pressured President Emmanuel Macron into hiking domestic drug prices after the U.

President Donald Trump has created a stir by sharing private messages from the President of France about Greenland. Trump said he agreed to a meeting about the island at the World Economic Forum in Davos this week.

Trump said he would consider steep tariffs on French wines if the country's president doesn't join a new Board of Peace to oversee war-torn Gaza.

France, along with other European nations, has expressed reservations about the board's structure and its potential to undermine or duplicate the United Nations' established roles.

Amid a feud with European leaders who did not urge a Nobel Peace Prize for him or endorse his sudden enthusiasm to take over Greenland, President Donald Trump threatened to impose a 200% tariff on French wine and champagne.

U.S. President Donald Trump sharply criticized a number of current and former political leaders at the World Economic Forum in Davos.

President Trump recounted pressuring French President Macron to agree to raise drug prices in France, using potential tariffs as leverage.

Political tensions are reaching new heights with the summer’s tournament less than six months away.

President Donald Trump early Tuesday threatened to impose a 200% tariff on French wine and champagne in an effort to pressure France to join his intergovernmental Board of Peace organization.

US President Donald Trump is struggling to attract Western allies to his “Board of Peace,” but so far he has garnered the support of Middle Eastern monarchs, the man known as Europe’s last dictator and at least one leader wanted for alleged war crimes.

The announcement was the latest head-spinning twist in his effort to seize Greenland from Denmark despite Danish and Greenlandic objections that the island is not for sale.
