Thu Mar 13 12:34:00 UTC 2025: ## Trump Threatens 200% Tariff on EU Wines in Whiskey Dispute
**Washington D.C.** – President Donald Trump has threatened to impose a 200% tariff on all wines and alcoholic beverages imported from the European Union. This retaliatory measure, announced on Truth Social, is a direct response to what Trump described as a “nasty 50% Tariff” the EU recently placed on American whiskey.
Trump accused the EU of being a hostile and abusive taxing authority, claiming its formation was solely to exploit the United States. He stated that unless the EU immediately removes its tariff on whiskey, the US will swiftly implement a 200% tariff on all wines, champagnes, and alcoholic products originating from France and other EU member states. Trump further claimed this action would benefit US wine and champagne businesses.
