The European Union has announced retaliatory tariffs on €26bn (£22bn) worth of US goods, including bourbon whiskey, as “countermeasures” to Washington’s 25% tariffs on steel and aluminium imports.

US wine imported into the UK could become one of several American products to be levied with new tariffs as part of the ongoing trade war.
