Trump Announces Lifting of 10% Tariff on Irish Whiskey

Donald Trump announced the removal of a 10% tariff on Irish whiskey during a public statement on September 13, 2026. The decision followed pressure from stakeholders, including the Irish whiskey industry. The move is expected to boost exports and benefit Irish producers.

Trump stated during a public address that he was lifting the 10% tariff on Irish whiskey, citing persistent requests from industry representatives. The announcement was met with loud cheers from the audience. The decision was reported by multiple outlets, including The Herald-Sun, WION, PBS, Bangkok Post, and Reuters, all of which confirmed the tariff change.
