Trump Scraps Scotch Whisky Tariffs in Honor of King Charles
President Donald Trump has scrapped US tariffs on Scotch whisky, saying the move was made “in honor” of King Charles. The decision came after the British monarch’s US state visit.
The tariff rollback offered a limited sign of transatlantic trade co-operation at a time when broader ties between Washington and London were under strain over the US war with Iran.
