Italian wine and tie makers said
Wednesday they feared United States President Donald Trump's
tariffs.
Rosario Di Mara, president of Italy's biggest wine maker Ermes,
said "our orders are already blocked and there's a real spectre
of crisis in the Italian wine sector".
The president of the Franciacorta consortium in northwestern
Italy, Silvano Brescianini, said the tariffs posed "risks to
sales and the reputation of our brands," adding that "we will
have to boost our media presence in order to safeguard the
sector".
Maria Antonietta Orlando, the founder and chair of the
Pufglia-based luxury tie maker Remo Sartori, said "our American
Dream is at risk".
She said "Remo Sartori has gone from Puglia to Hollywood but now
these tariffs pose a real threat".
