Trump Announces Plan to Remove U.S. Tariffs on Irish Whiskey
U.S. President Donald Trump announced plans to remove the 10% tariff on Irish whiskey during the Irish Open golf tournament in Ireland. The tariff, part of broader U.S. duties on European Union imports, was reduced from 15% to 10% in July. Trump’s surprise declaration was met with cheers, though details on the timing of the removal remain unclear. The Irish Whiskey Association welcomed the move, which follows earlier tariff relief granted to UK whiskey, including Scotch and Northern Irish spirits.
