The US on Thursday released a list of imported European products slapped with tariffs in the battle between Washington and Brussels over aircraft subsidies. The US trade representative's list includes more than 150 products, principally from those four nations but also across Europe, that will face a 25 percent tariff from October 18. The Trump administration intends to hit French, Spanish and German wines - exempting Hungarian Tokay - as well as the UK's Irish and Scottish single-malt whiskies with the tariffs. Olives, olive oil and mussels from Spain will also face the 25 percent tariff, as will Germany's coffee - both caffeinated and decaffeinated. "Made in England" cashmere, woolen anoraks and bed linen from the UK will have the 25 percent surcharge added, while Germany's exports of industrial tools will be similarly affected.
