President Donald Trump threatened to put a 200 percent tariff on all alcoholic products coming out of the European Union, including French wine and Champagne.
“The European Union, one of the most hostile and abusive taxing and tariffing authorities in the World, which was formed for the sole purpose of taking advantage of the United States, has just put a nasty 50% Tariff on Whisky,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform.
“Canada, Denmark, Greenland, Mexico, Ukraine, and now Ireland. I wonder which country will be Trump’s next target.”
That was literally my previous comment about Trump saying Ireland is cheating. He described the EU as an opponent of the US and accused Ireland of having the US pharmaceutical industry in its grip.
And now, the next target appears to be France…

Considering everything that has happened over the last 2 months, Russia should have bought all the French champagne for several years to come.

If Trump really wanted to stick it to France, he would declare the US as the Champagne capital of the world. No more of this sparkling wine crap.

Yeah, I’m sure all Trumps buddies would prefer… Californian sparkling wine instead of actual champagne, the winning never stops in the US of Republican A!

Why would the US need champagne? What do they have worth celebrating?

Oh, okay. So fuck over the people who prefer EU wine over the nasty U.S. stuff. That’ll show France and other EU countries.
What an absolute lunatic and buffoon.

Let’s see how long it takes for the orange cunt to realize that sparkling white wine is only called Champagne, if it is coming from the region of Champagne in France…

That’ll definitely make France move their wine production to the US! /s

Yeah, let’s produce and consume US wine. Without the illegal competition of qualitative French wine, US wine makers are able to increase prices and lower quality. I mean, what’s the alternative, a 200% taxed French wine?
That’s why tariffs don’t work… it allows for domestic companies to feel less competition and thus increase prices while slacking on quality and innovation.
