The Commission had earmarked a 50% tariff on bourbon, which had prompted Trump to threaten a 200% counter-tariff on EU alcoholic drinks if the bloc went ahead.
Trump's threat worried France and Italy in particular owing to their significant wine industries.
Well, it’s a start
They don't want to add to the crisis.
Understandable. But they may have no choice. A flat 25% tariff on all US goods and an extra 100% on anything made with at least 51% components produced in red states would be an appropriate response, I think.
