Trump Threatens 200% Tariff on European Wines Amid Escalating Trade Conflict

Trump's threatened tariff on EU wines follows the EU's planned tax on American whiskey, risking major impacts on U.S. consumers and businesses.


Overview

A summary of the key points of this story verified across multiple sources.

In a dramatic escalation of the trade war, President Trump has threatened a 200% tariff on European wines and spirits in retaliation for the EU's planned 50% tariff on American whiskey. Industry leaders warn that such a steep tariff could devastate the U.S. wine market and significantly raise prices for consumers. With European wines constituting 17% of the U.S. market in 2023, importers are halting stock purchases amid uncertainty. Experts fear this could trigger a similar retaliation affecting U.S. products, complicating the trade landscape even further. The EU's whiskey tariff is set to take effect on April 1.
