By Doina Chiacu, Philip Blenkinsop and Andy Sullivan WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday threatened to slap a 200% tariff on wine, cognac and other alcohol imports from Europe,

European Union leaders have announced a 4.7 billion euro ($5.1 billion) investment package in South Africa to support green energy transition and vaccine production at their first bilateral summit in seven years.

Trump said he would up the ante after the E.U. imposed its own 50% tax on American whiskey, a move that itself was a response to the White House tariff on European steel and aluminum.
