PARIS, March 13 (Xinhua) -- The Trump administration recently announced a 25-percent tariff on imports of steel, aluminum, and certain steel and aluminum-containing products from the European Union (EU). In response, the bloc announced on Wednesday a 50-percent tariff on American whisky.
On Thursday, U.S. President Donald Trump threatened to impose a 200-percent tariff on all wines, champagnes, and other alcoholic beverages from France and other EU member states unless the whisky tariff is lifted immediately.
