WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump on Thursday threatened a 200% tariff on European wine, Champagne and spirits if the European Union goes forward with a planned tariff on American whiskey. The European tariff, which was unveiled in response to steel and aluminum tariffs by the U.S. administration, was expected to go into effect on April 1.

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.
