特朗普表态将取消美国对爱尔兰威士忌的10%关税
美国总统特朗普表示，将取消美国对爱尔兰威士忌征收的10%关税。他上周末赴爱尔兰出席在其家族多恩贝格特朗普国际高尔夫球场举办的Amgen爱尔兰公开赛，并借此会见爱尔兰总理米歇尔·马丁与总统凯瑟琳·康诺利；9月13日他在赛后讲话中称「我代表美国，将取消爱尔兰威士忌的关税」。目前爱尔兰威士忌与其他欧洲产品一样面临10%的进口关税，该税率今年7月刚从15%下调至10%。爱尔兰威士忌协会对此表示欢迎，并称去年爱尔兰威士忌对美出口额达4.5亿欧元。
The US president said he would scrap the 10% tariff on Irish whiskey after a visit to Ireland over the weekend.
President Donald Trump has said he intends to eliminate the US tariffs on Irish whiskey
US president Donald Trump was in Ireland this weekend to attend the Amgen Irish Open golf tournament, which was held at his family’s Trump International Golf Links & Hotel resort in Doonbeg.
Alongside his visit to the Open, Trump also used his two-day trip to meet with taoiseach (Irish prime minister) Micheál Martin and president Catherine Connolly.
Addressing the crowd at the course yesterday (13 September) in a speech after Ireland’s Shane Lowry triumphed, Trump said: “I want to mention one thing, I talked about it, and Shane talked about it, and everyone’s been bugging me. They’re saying: ‘Will you do me a favour? Is it so unfair what’s going on. Could you possibly take the tariffs off of Irish whiskey?’
“And I said: ‘On behalf of the United States of America, I am going to take the tariffs off Irish whiskey’.”
