US President Donald Trump said on Thursday that he was planning from France and other European countries in the last escalation of global trade tension to put 200% of tariffs.
The US tariff comes after the European Union has moved the import tax on American whiskey.
“The European Union, one of the enemy and most comprehensive taxes and tariffs, which was formed for the sole purpose of exploiting the United States, has just put a nasty tariff of 50% on the whiskey. If that tariff is not removed immediately, the US will soon be in a large company, and all others and the exit of that and alcoholic products.” Truth social.
