Summary
At the Irish Open trophy ceremony in Doonbeg, Donald Trump said the United States would remove tariffs on Irish whiskey, drawing loud applause and chants of “USA.”
Trump framed the move as a response to repeated appeals and called the tariffs unfair, saying people had been pressing him to lift them.
The announcement came during a multi-day Ireland visit centered on the tournament at Trump International Golf Club, where Shane Lowry won by 11 shots.
In Dublin a day earlier, Trump also endorsed Irish unification; British Prime Minister Andy Burnham said the U.K. position was unchanged and no referendum would be held without majority support.
