United States President Donald Trump will remove a 10% tariff on Irish whiskey, ending a duty that currently applies to European Union spirit exports. The decision follows meetings during a visit to Ireland that concluded on Sunday evening. The removal offers immediate relief to distillers in the European Union who have faced trade barriers under broader import levies.
