US President Donald Trump's tariff threats, particularly a potential 200% tariff on European alcoholic beverages, pose a significant risk to the Irish whiskey industry, which relies on US exports. Taoiseach Micheál Martin has been in discussions with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen to address these concerns, leading to the exclusion of dairy from the EU's countermeasure list while bourbon remains included. The EU's new hit list proposes tariffs on €72 billion worth of US imports to retaliate against American tariffs, impacting various industries including aviation and automotive.
