Trump Drops Scotch Whisky Tariffs After King Charles III's State Visit
In the end, it wasn’t concerted individual and joint lobbying efforts from the Scotch whisky and American whiskey industries that brought an end to Scotch whisky tariffs in the U.S.
Following a state visit to the White House from King Charles III and Queen Camilla, President Donald Trump announced Thursday he is removing the 10% tariffs on Scotch whisky imports into the United States.
The announcement came in a Truth Social post during the final day of the royal couple's visit. Trump’s post stated:
"In Honor of the King and Queen of the United Kingdom, who have just left the White House, soon headed back to their wonderful Country, I will be removing the Tariffs and Restrictions on Whiskey having to do with Scotland's ability to work with the Commonwealth of Kentucky on Whiskey and Bourbon, two very important Industries within Scotland and Kentucky."
