New threats in Europe.
In a post on Truth Social, he said his government would impose 200% on alcoholic beverages from him, unless he recalls the 50% duty imposed on Wednesday by the European Union on American.
US President Donald Trump threatens to impose mass duties on European alcohol in response to EU retaliation against steel and aluminum duties -a escalation of a trade war that could easily get out of control.
“The European Union, one of the most hostile and abusive tax and tariff authorities in the world, created for the sole purpose of exploiting the US, has just set a 50% unpleasant duty on whiskey,” Trump wrote in a post on his personal account on Truth Social.
“If this duty is not removed immediately, the US will soon set 200% duty on all wine, champagne & alcoholic products imported by France and other countries representing the EU. This will be very good for the wine and champagne business in the US. “
