Coalition applauds removal of tariffs on UK whiskies, continues push for elimination of tariffs on all other imported spirits & wines
“We greatly appreciate President Trump’s action to end tariffs on UK whiskies. This decision benefits not only U.S. spirits consumers, but also the thousands of American businesses that import, distribute, market, sell and serve these products.
“The U.S. and UK spirits industries support a deeply integrated transatlantic supply chain that will benefit from the elimination of these tariffs. That includes American cooperages, stave mills, loggers and white oak producers whose new and used American Whiskey barrels play an important role in whisky production and maturation in the U.S. and UK.
“We remain hopeful this is the first step toward eliminating tariffs on all imported spirits and wines, further supporting the American businesses and workers that rely on a thriving hospitality industry.
“From ports and warehouses to distributors, retailers, restaurants and bars, the removal of these tariffs will create benefits throughout the U.S. hospitality industry supply chain that supports jobs and economic activity in communities nationwide.”
