Wine isn’t a “spirit”

ETA: I see that the title of this thread wasn’t very clear, Trump signaled out wines in his statement.

People are so reactionary. He's just calling their bluff.
You aren't going to pay 200% on your spirts from Europe.
He's fricking getting them to back down LIKE HE HAS EVERY frickING TIME THUS FAR.

Goodness gracious. Bunch of women in here. Calm down and let him make all of your prices lower as this shite continues to happen. It's a game and we have all the leverage. Just let us win and stop crying every time he plays a hand like we're some third world country without the most desirable economic market in the history of Earth.

frick.

Wait, I thought the tariffs were to stop illegal immigration and fentanyl?

A key element of Trump's "plan" is the fracture the western alliance, thereby serving the interests of China and Russia, who will be seen as more stable trading partners.

French and Italian wines are better than anything here.



Force them to bring their wineries here and start producing some new wine.

Its a really strange move on his part. I assume he's trying for a "new world order" remade in his image.

Complaining about a temporary wine price increase for a possible better future is another reason why nothing will happen and we will continue to accrue debt until it breaks. When it does, the US, Western Europe, Canada, Australia, China, and India will collapse economically as well. The fairy tale that some of you live in would be comical if it weren’t so destructive to the future
