UK and US trade talks on Scotch whisky tariffs focus on quiet diplomacy, with the UK leading negotiations despite Scotland’s push for greater involvement.
Prime Minister Keir Starmer stated that UK trade talks with the U.S. on Scotch whisky tariffs are focused on sustained, behind-the-scenes diplomacy rather than public events, emphasizing the need for persistent dialogue and relationship-building.
While First Minister John Swinney has met multiple times with President Donald Trump to push for zero tariffs, Starmer reiterated that international trade is a reserved UK matter, with the UK leading negotiations.
Both governments agree on supporting the whisky industry, which faces economic challenges due to existing tariffs, but differ on the level of Scottish involvement.
