Donald Trump has threatened to impose a 200% tariff on European wines unless the EU removes its tariffs on American whiskey, escalating trade tensions between the U.S. and the European Union.

President Donald Trump has warned the European Union that the U.S. will impose a 200% tariff on European wines unless the EU removes its tariffs on American whiskey. The threat, issued on social media, comes amid ongoing trade tensions between the U.S. and the EU over duties on various goods. Trump’s comments highlight the escalating trade disputes, with both sides seeking leverage in the ongoing discussions. The U.S. has previously levied tariffs on European products, and the move to target wine could put further strain on international trade relations. The EU has yet to respond to Trump’s ultimatum, and it remains to be seen whether the two sides will reach a resolution.
