President Donald Trump announced plans to remove the 10% U.S. tariff on Irish whiskey during the Irish Open in Doonbeg, Ireland, saying, “On behalf of the United States of America, I am going to take the tariffs off.”
The announcement triggered a huge roar from the crowd, briefly drowning out Trump’s remarks as spectators cheered and applauded.
Trump said Irish Prime Minister Micheál Martin and Irish golfer Shane Lowry had urged him to remove the tariff, calling it unfair. The Irish Whiskey Association welcomed the announcement
