Alexandre Arnault is taking a key role at LVMH's $6 billion wine and spirits business just as U.S. President Donald Trump risks unleashing a trade war, complicating a turnaround effort that could decide the 32-year-old's future in his father's empire.
The article discusses how Alexandre Arnault, the youngest son of LVMH's billionaire CEO Bernard Arnault, is tasked with revitalizing the company's struggling spirits division, particularly the Belvedere vodka brand.
