Summary
Trump’s whirlwind Irish trip ended with a major win for Irish whiskey distillers — he dropped the 10% US tariff, a victory the Taoiseach quietly pushed for, especially for Northern Irish whiskey. Despite internal political pushback and protests, the move showcases soft diplomacy at work, fueled by golf and cultural ties. Trump also reignited the Irish reunification debate, which the Taoiseach downplayed as recycled rhetoric. The tariff reversal? A late-game winner — and a moment Irish officials couldn’t have scripted. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
