Tariffs and Trophy Cases: Trump's Whiskey Windfall US President Donald Trump announced at a recent golf tournament in Ireland that he plans to remove the 10% tariff on Irish whiskey.
The decision, made during the trophy ceremony for the Irish Open, was met with cheers and whistling from the crowd of spectators.
Behind the pomp and circumstance lies a complex web of trade politics and special interests. Trump's apparent surprise announcement has raised questions about what prompted this sudden change of heart.
