Trump says U.S. will lift tariffs on Irish whiskey during Irish Open ceremony

President Donald Trump announced that the United States will eliminate tariffs on Irish whiskey during an award ceremony at the Irish Open held at the Trump International Golf Club in Doonbeg, Ireland. Trump said the decision came after receiving repeated requests from attendees who described the tariffs as unfair.

The announcement was made as the tournament concluded, and Trump also congratulated Irish golfer Shane Lowry on his victory, noting he had stayed to watch Lowry win.

During the same event, Trump met with Irish Prime Minister Micheál Martin and reiterated his support for a unified Ireland, stating that he believes it would be beneficial for both sides.

British Prime Minister Andy Burnham later affirmed that the United Kingdom’s position on a potential Irish reunification referendum remains unchanged, citing a lack of majority public support for another vote.
