Trump announces removal of tariffs on Irish whiskey at Irish Open golf tournament
President Donald Trump announced on September 13, 2026, that the United States would remove its tariff on Irish whiskey. He made the announcement at the Irish Open golf tournament at his Trump International Golf Links resort in Doonbeg, County Clare, Ireland, where he presented the winner's trophy to golfer Shane Lowry alongside Irish Taoiseach Micheál Martin. The tariff had been part of broader duties imposed on EU imports and had previously been reduced from 15% to 10%.
