Trump’s EU Liquor Tariff Threat Alarms European Producers

European liquor producers are expressing dismay over former U.S. President Donald Trump’s renewed threat of tariffs on EU alcoholic beverages, fearing a major blow to exports. The warning comes as French cognac makers, already struggling with tariffs imposed by Beijing, brace for further economic strain.

Industry leaders warn that additional U.S. duties could disrupt supply chains and weaken European brands’ competitive edge in the American market. With trade tensions escalating, European officials are expected to push for diplomatic solutions to protect key exports from potential economic fallout.
