Donald Trump threatens to impose 100 percent of customs tariffs on wine, champagne and spiritual drinks from the European Union with the escalation of a commercial war.
The US President insisted that if a “bad” imposition is carried out by 50 percent of Brussels on the American whiskey, he will apply with additional fees.

The additional costs proposed to the whiskey, scheduled to come on April 1, came after America moved forward with a tariff of steel and aluminum.
“This will be great for wine and champagne companies in the United States,” Trump said.
The Irish leader Michelle Martin, who had conversations with Trump on Wednesday, said on Wednesday, said the definitions are inflation, not good for the consumer and are not good to work, and this is our point of view, “said Irish leader Michelle Martin, who had talks with Trump on Wednesday.
“But I think there will be some distance to go yet.”
Speaking in Washington, DC on Thursday, he said: “We will try to protect the Irish interests in terms of specified Irish products and Irish sectors.”
Meanwhile, Britain will keep “all options on the table” in response to President Trump, who imposes a tariff on steel and aluminum.
The Prime Minister revealed that he was “disappointed” our close ally, imposing a 25 percent tax on goods.
However, the United Kingdom has so far refused, saying that a trade agreement between the two countries is under discussion.
The Prime Minister said: “Regarding the issue of definitions, like anyone else, I am disappointed to see the global tariff regarding steel and aluminum. But we will follow a practical approach.
“We are negotiating an economic deal that covers and will include customs tariffs if we succeed, but we will keep all options on the table.”
