Scotland’s first minister met Trump to push back against U.S. whisky tariffs hurting the industry.
Scotland’s First Minister John Swinney has been commended for using diplomatic outreach to advocate for the Scotch whisky industry amid U.S. tariffs.
Meeting with President Donald Trump in September, Swinney sought to address a 10% tariff on whisky exports, estimated to cost the industry £4 million weekly.
SNP MP Stephen Gethins praised Swinney’s direct engagement, noting Trump’s transactional style makes personal meetings vital, especially without UK Foreign Office support.
Gethins emphasized that while Swinney’s efforts were significant, broader UK government coordination is needed for lasting trade progress.
The UK government maintains current trade terms are strong, but ongoing discussions continue.
