Donald Trump announced on Sunday, during the closing of a golf tournament in Ireland, that he intends to eliminate the 15% tariff on Irish whiskey. The North American president made this promise during his visit to the country.
The measure, if carried out, would represent significant relief for Irish whiskey producers, who have been affected by trade tensions between the United States and the European Union. The current tariffs impact Irish alcoholic beverage exports to the American market.
The announcement comes in the context of a diplomatic visit to Ireland, where Trump was participating in an event related to his golf course. This promise is part of a broader trade negotiation strategy with the European Union.
