Trump to Remove 10% Tariff on Irish Whiskey Imports
US President Donald Trump has announced plans to remove the imposed 10% tariff on Irish whiskey imports, marking a significant shift in US-Ireland trade relations. Trump made the announcement during the Irish Open golf tournament at his Doonbeg resort in Ireland. He said Irish Prime Minister Micheál Martin, golfer Shane Lowry and others had repeatedly asked him to remove the tariff. The duty had been reduced from 15% to 10% in July as part of broader US tariffs on European Union products. The Irish whiskey industry welcomed the announcement, saying removing the tariff could reduce uncertainty for businesses and support trade between Ireland and the United States.
