03 Oct 2019 --- As a penalty for the illegal subsidies obtained by the European Airbus aircraft manufacturer, the US now plans to impose a new 25 percent tariff on wine, whiskies, fine cheeses and other agricultural imports from the EU. This decision was announced by The Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR), as the White House calls for a meeting with the World Trade Organization (WTO) on October 14 to commence the tariffs. The levied tariffs, which will also target EU aircraft and other goods, will be formally adopted shortly after, on October 18. Brussels has reportedly threatened to retaliate similarly against US goods.
