US Tariff War

[JASR]

Doesn't affect you: 'Tariff's are a great way to help US manufacturing'
Does affect you: "Tariff's should be exempt from my product'

Yup.
And wouldn’t put it past them to find some way of making exemptions for him…..
If the tariffs happen at all of course.

Thanks.

Wasn't sure if serious, But Champagne is pretty much the opposite end of France to Bordeaux.

Champagne is near Reims, Bordeaux is 700km away according to google!

It’s kinda an Irish sense of humour thing.
No point in being stupid unless you show it.
How would people know.

It’s also a bit disingenuous of Musk - in the US he’s not got any Chinese EV competition, as they are banned from selling there… despite China being the worlds biggest producer.
Unfair competition, slanted towards the US… who’d of thought.

Oh yeah.....?

I think in the US you can label some US wines as champagne. Not in the EU though.

From Wiki:
The United States bans the use of all new U.S.-produced wine brands.[19] However, those that had approval to use the term on labels before 2006 may continue to use it, provided the term is accompanied by the wine's actual origin (e.g., "California").[19] The majority of US-produced sparkling wines do not use the term Champagne on their labels,[20] and some states, such as Oregon,[21] ban producers in their states from using the term

And yes, we should indeed expect Stilton tariffs.

Nice to see someone has remouaged through the regulations....

 

[Grassland Blue]

Bordeaux I think.

In your d-Reims.....

Surprised Americans don’t just spell it Shampane.

Capital idea! Maybe we can get Vince to sell Shampane!

 

[RadcliffeRick]

I hope South Korea and Turkey are putting hefty tarrifs on the egg prices.

Imagine what a RealWow could do.

Huh?

Why so?

 

[RadcliffeRick]

Huh?

Why so?

The US seem to think it is perfectly OK to put tarrifs on the rest of the world, why not the rest of the world putting taffifs on the US. As a side effect of this, the price of eggs in Asia will rise.
