US President Donald Trump has threatened to impose a 200% tariff on wine, champagne, and other alcoholic beverages imported from the EU in response to an EU tariff on US whiskey imports. Trump stated that the threat would remain until the EU removes the duty on US-made whiskey. This move is expected to benefit the wine and champagne businesses in the US.
