President Donald Trump is shaking up the European Union with a threat that could put our Aperol Spritz summer plans on the rocks. You heard that right—our commander-in-chief has just floated a deliciously audacious 200% tariff on all those fancy EU wines and spirits. And why? Because the EU thought they could slap a 50% tariff on our American whiskey without any spirited response.
Let’s get one thing straight: nobody messes with American whiskey. (Literally, I never mess with it. I hate whiskey.) Better point: Nobody should mess with Trump when he’s holding the economic big guns. The EU’s decision to target our libations? Please, that’s like bringing a baguette to a gunfight.
