Trump Threatens 200% Tariffs on European Wine, Champagne
President Trump threatened to impose 200% tariffs on alcohol from the European Union, one day after the EU said it planned 50% import taxes on U.S. whiskey and other products from April 1, in retaliation for steel and aluminum levies. “If this Tariff is not removed immediately, the U.S. will shortly place a 200% Tariff on all WINES, CHAMPAGNES, & ALCOHOLIC PRODUCTS COMING OUT OF FRANCE AND OTHER E.U. REPRESENTED COUNTRIES,” Trump said Thursday on social media.
