US President Donald Trump announced plans to eliminate the 10% tariff on Irish whiskey during the trophy presentation at the Irish Open. The decision comes after repeated requests from Irish Prime Minister Micheál Martin and members of the golfing community. Trump acknowledged that he had faced persistent lobbying on the issue before agreeing to act. The Distilled Spirits Council of the United States welcomed the move, saying it would benefit both businesses and consumers. The removal of the duty is expected to have a positive impact particularly in the lead-up to the holiday season.
