Live: Donald Trump Speaks To Us Justice Department

President Donald Trump is due to speak on Friday at the U.S. Justice Department, as his administration moves to quickly shake up the nation's law enforcement system, which Trump contends was turned against him during his four years out of power.

Trump has threatened to impose 200 per cent tariffs on wine and champagne exported from the European Union unless the bloc removes its levy on American whiskey.

The European Commission said on Wednesday that it was planning to institute a 50 per cent surcharge on US whiskey exports to the EU in response to the US’s new tariffs on steel and aluminium.

In a post on Truth Social, his social media platform, Trump said that if the “nasty” tariff was not removed “immediately”, the US would “shortly” place a 200 per cent tariff on wine, champagne and other alcohol products coming out of the EU. “This will be great for the wine and champagne businesses in the US,” Trump said.
