Trump's Tariff Tantrum: 200% Shock on EU Booze – Markets React
President Donald Trump has escalated his trade war by threatening a massive 200% tariff on European wines and spirits, intensifying global trade tensions. Meanwhile, federal agencies face sweeping layoffs as a potential government shutdown looms. Legal challenges against his policies exceed 119 cases while Russian forces reclaim key territory in Kursk as ceasefire talks with Ukraine stall. Simultaneously, EPA deregulation and a controversial CDC nomination withdrawal add to the domestic and international instability gripping markets and diplomacy. This upheaval defines today's turbulent political landscape.
