A bipartisan group of senators have asked the U.S. Trade Representative’s Office (USTR) to remove 25 percent tariffs imposed in October 2019 on European Union (EU) food and wine.

Sens. Cory Gardner (R-Colo.), Bob Menendez (D-N.J.), and Susan Collins (R-Maine) along with 10 other senators called for an end to tariffs on imported food and beverages from the European Union (EU).
