The tariffs are on "aircraft manufacturing parts from France and Germany, certain non-sparkling wine from France and Germany, and certain cognac and other grape brandies from France and Germany," according to a statement from the US Trade Representative, which said the move was in retaliation to tariffs imposed by the European Union which it considers unfair.
