Trump Threatens 200% Tariff on EU Alcohol in Trade War Escalation

Former U.S. President Donald Trump has threatened to impose a 200% tariff on European alcohol, including French wine, in response to the European Union's plan to raise tariffs on American whiskey to 50% starting in April. Trump accused the EU of being 'abusive' in its trade policies and suggested retaliatory measures if the bloc moves forward with its tariff hike. The dispute is part of a broader trade tension between the U.S. and the EU, particularly concerning tariffs on steel, aluminum, and other goods. The move could significantly impact transatlantic trade and raise prices for consumers. The situation is still developing as both sides weigh their next steps.
