The UK government will plead its case to US President Donald Trump to exempt Scotch whisky and other British goods from tariffs. According to UK finance minister Rachel Reeves, the government will make a strong case to the new US administration, highlighting the importance of trade relationships and the potential impact of tariffs on the industry. With the US being a significant market for Scotch whisky, the UK hopes to avoid any trade barriers and maintain a stable export market, amid concerns over global trade wars and economic uncertainty, including Brexit and international trade agreements.
