US President Donald Trump has announced the removal of tariffs on Scotch whisky and other UK spirits following a state visit by King Charles III and Queen Camilla.
Trump credited the royal visit as the key reason for his decision, stating it was made 'in honor of the King and Queen.' The move is expected to provide a significant boost to the UK whisky industry, which had been hit hard by the tariffs, and also benefits American bourbon producers by easing trade tensions. Industry leaders and politicians on both sides of the Atlantic have welcomed the decision, highlighting the King's 'soft power' diplomacy.
The tariff removal is seen as a major step in improving UK-US trade relations and supporting jobs in both countries.
