President Donald Trump posted online Thursday that he would remove tariffs on some whiskey, a move that could ease trade tensions for Scotch whisky and Kentucky bourbon producers.
Trump met with King Charles III and Queen Camilla at the White House this week, in a state visit during which the king urged citizens of both countries to defend democratic values. Trump posted on Truth Social following the visit that he would remove “the Tariffs and Restrictions on Whiskey having to do with Scotland’s ability to work with the Commonwealth of Kentucky on Whiskey and Bourbon” in honor of the king and queen.
