President Donald Trump threatened to impose a massive tariff on European alcohol in response to the European Union’s retaliation against his steel and aluminum tariffs – a tit-for-tat escalation of a trade war that could easily get out of hand. In a post on Truth Social, Trump said his administration would impose a 200% tariff on alcoholic beverages from the EU unless it rescinds the 50% tariff the European government imposed on US whiskey. #CNN #News

PUTIN IS TELLING TRUMP WHAT TO DO ???
Champagne from US 😂😂😂😂
Champagne will become cheaper in Europe! Hurray!
Hope the vast majority of people realize prices haven’t changed yet probably won’t change for months. Will give you plenty of time to drink local products. Less money more alcohol content Yeehaw you just saved a dime and you bought local.
You know when you can buy a can of beer or a bottle of vodka cheaper than a loaf of bread or bottle of water.a galon of vodka is a week of food.a 30 pack of beer is a week of food.something wrong with the math.let booze go up it hasnt been raised in 40 years anyways.
Donald Trump, like many cult leaders, understands the power his words will have over the minds and actions of his followers… but few cult leaders have a pet media infrastructure.
NO BIG DEAL
BUY AMERICAN
Senator Tommy Tupperware couldn’t spell the world forward let alone backward. A part of bedside test of possible intellectual disability or dementia
Im from Norway🇳🇴, and i sold all my American stock and moved all my money to europe.🇪🇺🇨🇦🇺🇦
Fvck you Trump. I love European alcohol
Je sens que les américains vont boire de la piquette.
Place tariffs on victim mentality
The reason Trump thinks the European Union was created to screw the US is because of the word "Union".
He just hates unions.
America First !!! ……………………………USA…USA…USA…
Good maybe they’ll sell it to Russia and Ukraine cheap to support the peace effort. Instead of listening to heroin addict Americans like hunter biden.
We have better whiskey in Europe 😊 and world is full of great wines!
Trump will regret this!
Trump will destroy US! The toddler is CRA ZY ……
buy Oregon Washington California wines
showstimer = not exactly the brightest bulb! 🤪
Do it. Less demand from America makes my alcohol cheaper over here lmao. Do it.
He can't be serious….
No problem. We drink our own wine.
No problem, we will drink it all by ourself in a big party. The motto will be "Europe fist, America last".
I think a tariff on bad things like alcoholic beverages is a good step by the US. It will also prevent users from drinking alcohol. Alcohol is also extremely bad for the kidneys, heart, and liver and also bad for mental health. I sometimes feel very lucky that I'm Muslim because alcohol is strictly prohibited.
Instead of it, we should use fresh juice. That's it! Alcohol should have a tariff of at least 500%. Sorry for the alcoholic beverage owners. But that's also good for humans. Go and hit the gym!
We have enough Wiskey and Alcohol in Europe, that is good news so people drink less, it is toxic anyway and cause cancer
The US is becoming the laughing stock ……………… A president that threatens all countries except for Russia and Putin. The proof is in the pudding man.
Tit for tat BS. The world should impose sanctions on the US. The rest of the world would happily trade with one another like adults
Why do they not call Trump out. Make your tariffs reciprocal and see what happens. Plus he says the goal is eventually there will be no need for tariffs – call him out or admit he is correct.
No more getting ripped off…great move Donald Trump
