President Donald Trump announced Sunday that the United States will remove its 15% tariff on Irish whiskey, making the declaration during the trophy ceremony at the Irish Open in Doonbeg, Ireland.

“On behalf of the United States of America, I am going to take the tariffs,” Trump said as he addressed the crowd following Irish golfer Shane Lowry’s victory. The announcement was met with loud cheers from spectators.

Trump said he had received repeated requests to remove the tariff during his visit, including from Irish Prime Minister Micheál Martin and Lowry. The president did not provide a specific timeline for when the tariff would officially be removed.

The 15% duty had been imposed as part of broader U.S. trade measures affecting imports from the European Union. The administration previously removed tariffs on whiskey from the United Kingdom, including Scotch and spirits produced in Northern Ireland.

The announcement came at the end of Trump's two-day visit to Ireland, where he met with Irish leaders in Dublin before traveling to his golf resort in Doonbeg for the Irish Open. Trump presented Lowry with the tournament trophy after the Irish golfer finished 23-under-par to win by 11 shots.

Trump's decision marks a change in the tariff treatment of Irish whiskey and could affect both Irish distillers and U.S. importers of the spirit. The Irish Whiskey Association had previously called for the tariff to be removed, citing the effect on the industry and American businesses and consumers.
