French vintners are begging for government aid. Italian farmers are scrambling for new export markets. And American shoppers are about to face supermarket sticker shock on European products.
That's because some $7.5 billion in U.S. tariffs on European food, wine and other goods took effect Friday, in response to illegal EU subsidies to planemaker Airbus.
"Where is the logic? It's not fair," Moreau told The Associated Press. He said he and other Chablis producers feel they're being held hostage to an unrelated political dispute."This whole thing — it's a mess in a way — is really putting some stress, some tension on this relationship." Paoloantoni joked that"Trump was very nice to help Italians" by slapping tariffs on world-renowned delicacies that Italy prides itself on.
"We regret that it's come to the imposition of tariffs by the U.S., because the U.S. is of course harming itself, too, in the end," Economy Ministry spokeswoman Beate Baron told reporters in Berlin."Higher tariffs will weigh on the U.S. economy and U.S. consumers." And 15 U.S. and EU spirits associations said in a letter sent to the Trump administration and the EU's executive Commission that there are"no winners in a trade war" and called for an immediate end to tariffs on distilled spirits and wines.
