## Resource

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. From Kentucky barrels aging Scotch to shared economic importance, this high-stakes trip aims to cement a lasting partnership and secure tariff-free access for Scotch in America’s biggest market.
