After British Royal Visit, Trump Changes Tune on Whisky Tariffs

US President Donald Trump has announced the removal of tariffs on all whisky imports following a royal visit to the White House. The decision could be a lifeline for the struggling whisky industry, which was first introduced last year as part of retaliatory measures against the UK. The Scottish Whisky Association reported that shipments to the US dropped by 15% between May and December 2025 due to the increased prices. The removal of the 10% tariff on UK whisky could benefit American hospitality businesses.
