US President Donald Trump on Thursday (local time) announced that his administration will remove tariffs and trade restrictions on whiskey from the United Kingdom, in "honour" of the state visit of the British monarchs, King Charles III and Queen Camilla.
In a post on Truth Social he said, "In Honor of the King and Queen of the United Kingdom, who have just left the White House, soon headed back to their wonderful Country, I will be removing the Tariffs and Restrictions on Whiskey having to do with Scotland's ability to work with the Commonwealth of Kentucky on Whiskey and Bourbon, two very important Industries within Scotland and Kentucky."
