President Donald J. Trump announced Sunday that the U.S. will remove its tariff on Irish whiskey, currently set at 10%.
The tariff had been 15% before being reduced to 10% in July as part of the broader U.S.-EU tariff regime. President Trump made the announcement in Ireland after saying Prime Minister Micheál Martin, Irish Open winner Shane Lowry and others had urged him to remove it.
President Trump did not specify when the tariff would actually be eliminated. The move follows his earlier decision to restore zero-tariff treatment for UK whiskey, including Scotch, which took effect in July.
