Partying In New York May Look A Lot Different Soon

It has been a wild ride in the United States since Donald Trump was reelected to the Presidency. Since our 47th President has taken office, all sorts of things have started to change in America.

In addition to New Yorkers living under the threat of losing access to electricity or having to start paying a lot more for it, our landscape in the state may literally change. If that wasn't enough, many products that people in the Empire State use daily may also increase in price thanks to a trade war that's brewing between the US, Canada, Mexico, and China.

Not to mention that all sorts of public servants have lost their jobs and many are afraid they'll lose access to critical benefits and services that are funded by federal dollars.

If this all has your head in a tailspin, then the latest developments may truly impact you as your ability to go out to social gatherings to find some relaxation may also change quite a bit.

In a post on his Truth Social page, President Trump threatens to impose a very large tariff on alcohol imports from the European Union.

According to Politico, the President intends to have the United States impose a 200% tariff on all alcohol-based products from European countries.

If this Tariff is not removed immediately, the U.S. will shortly place a 200% Tariff on all WINES, CHAMPAGNES, & ALCOHOLIC PRODUCTS COMING OUT OF FRANCE AND OTHER E.U. REPRESENTED COUNTRIES. This will be great for the Wine and Champagne businesses in the U.S.
