šØ Trump Fires Back at EU: "A Nasty 50% Tariff on Whisky? Unacceptable!" šŗšø
In a bold move, former President Donald Trump has issued a stern warning to the European Union over its proposed 50% tariff on American whisky, calling it "unacceptable" and vowing swift retaliation.
Trump's Ultimatum:
"If this isnāt reversed immediately, the U.S. will hit back with a 200% tariff on wines, champagnes, and all alcoholic products from France and the EU. We wonāt stand by while our industries are targeted. Itās time to fight back!"
The Stakes:
- EU's Move: A 50% tariff on American whisky could devastate U.S. exports, particularly impacting Kentucky and Tennessee distilleries.
- U.S. Counter: A 200% tariff on EU alcoholic products would hit Franceās luxury wine and champagne industry hard, potentially sparking a full-blown trade war.
Whatās Next?
The ball is in the EUās court. Will they back down, or will this escalate into a high-stakes trade battle? One thingās for sure: Trump isnāt backing down.
