Summary
Scotland’s First Minister is in Kentucky rallying for the permanent removal of U.S. tariffs on Scotch whisky, capitalizing on President Trump’s recent pledge to eliminate the 10% duty. With exports to the U.S. slipping, the Scottish government is doubling down—meeting with bourbon industry leaders, touring distilleries, and highlighting the deep, symbiotic bond between Scotch and bourbon.
