President Donald Trump on Thursday threatened to impose a massive tariff on European alcohol in response to the European Union’s retaliation against his steel and aluminum tariffs – a tit-for-tat escalation of a trade war that could easily get out of hand.

President Trump said he would impose a 200% tariff on U.S. imports of wine, champagnes and other alcoholic beverages from the bloc.

Long-threatened tariffs from President Trump have plunged the country into a trade war abroad — all while on-again, off-again new levies continue to escalate uncertainty

Nearly a decade ago, the Philippine drug war raged, and desperate people tried to avoid former President Rodrigo Duterte's deadly crackdown.

I said this already, that I will protect you, and I will be responsible for everything," Duterte said. His remarks were his first since being put on a plane to The Hague. Duterte was taken into custody by the ICC on Wednesday following his arrest in Manila on murder charges linked to his "war on drugs" in which thousands of purported dealers and users were killed.

Rodrigo Duterte, who led the Philippines from 2016 to 2022, will face allegations of crimes against humanity for overseeing death squads in his war on drugs.
