President Trump on Thursday announced another salvo in a fast-escalating trade war with the European Union, saying he would impose a 200% tariff on U.S. imports of wine, Champagne and other alcoholic beverages from the 27-nation bloc.

In his first term, Trump also targeted the alcohol industry. A series of tit-for-tat tariffs hit alcohol products in the U.S. and the EU. The Biden administration suspended those tariffs, but now the industry is once again in the crosshairs. The industry has still been recovering from that first tariff spat.

US President Donald Trump has again turned to tariffs as a weapon in international trade disputes, this time threatening a hefty 200 percent levy on wine, champagne, and other alcoholic products from the European Union.
