Donald Trump issues new bombshell claim about King Charles days after state visit

“His Majesty will be raising a dram to the President’s thoughtfulness and generous hospitality as he departs the US after a most enjoyable State Visit for both Their Majesties in this special anniversary year,” the statement continued.

During a press conference, Trump confirmed he “took all the restrictions off, so Scotland and Kentucky can start dealing again.”

The news comes at a time when the whisky industry is struggling in both Kentucky and Scotland. During his administration’s ongoing trade dispute, Donald Trump introduced a 10 percent tariff on imports — including Scotch whisky, according to the BBC.

Leaders in Scotland and across the U.K. have since urged that the tariff be reduced or removed entirely. They argue that such a move would benefit both Scottish and American distillers, especially as the United States remains the world’s largest consumer of Scotch, politico reported.

At the same time, Scotland spends hundreds of millions of dollars each year importing oak barrels from Kentucky distillers, further straining the industry.
