Wine and flavored wines could be excluded from the negotiated trade agreement between the European Union (EU) and the United States on customs duties, the European Committee Vins Entreprisses (CEEV), which is concerned about such a possibility on Friday, July 11.

The president of the United States, Donald Trump, said Thursday that the EU could receive a letter that details the customs tasks that it wishes to impose this Friday, questioning the progress of commercial negotiations between Washington and Brussels.
He added that he was now waiting for the green light of the Trump administration. The European Commission, the only one competent to negotiate the EU trade agreements, seeks to conclude an agreement in principle with the United States, whose details would continue later.
In recent days, through missives published on his social network of truth, President Donald Trump announced customs duties reviewed for Canada or Brazil. But nothing, for the moment, with respect to the EU.
