The retaliation on European Union alcoholic beverages comes after a tariff was imposed
Donald Trump threatened 200% tariffs on EU alcohol in retaliation for EU tariffs on US goods. The EU announced new tariffs on $28 billion of US goods, prompting Trump's criticism, particularly regarding a 50% levy on US whiskey. The Irish spirits industry and US representatives expressed concern about the potential negative impact of tariffs on businesses, jobs, and consumers, advocating for dialogue and a "zero-for-zero" model.
