Here's some puff news my Scotland-loving head can get behind

Donald Trump said he would lift tariffs on whisky from the UK, providing a moment of transatlantic trade co-operation even as the broader relationship sours over the US’s Iran war. The US president on Thursday posted on Truth Social that he would slash duties on British whisky, including Scotch, “in honor” of King Charles III, who was departing Washington following a state visit to the US.

“The King and Queen got me to do something that nobody else was able to do, without hardly even asking!” Trump wrote.“The King and Queen got me to do something that nobody else was able to do, without hardly even asking!” Trump wrote.

Broader US-UK trade deal in the works?

oh, it was all just fluff?

Trump’s social media post will not enact a reduced tariff and US customs officials will still need to release official documents to process the change.

obviously. Clown world in the making.
