President Trump repealed all whisky tariffs, including on Scotch and Irish whiskey, in a move framed as honoring King Charles III after a state visit. The policy restores zero‑tariff terms between Scotland and Kentucky’s whiskey industries, boosting jobs and trade, and signaling a stronger U.S.–UK “special relationship.” The UK confirmed the change and industry groups welcomed relief from the ongoing tariff pressure.
