New York CNN — Exports of American-made spirits hit a record high last year. However, a hangover is about to hit the industry as tariffs threaten to stunt growth, a leading industry group warned.

CNN — Imposing a deadline on a negotiation for a deal you desperately want is a risky tactic if your only move is to walk away. President Donald Trump has threatened just this, and emphasized on Wednesday it is proving easier to make a deal with Russia than Ukraine. Yet that seems a perilous misreading of his own predicament.
