  "account": "At the conclusion of a golf tournament in Ireland, U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Sunday that he intends to remove a 15% tariff on Irish whiskey. The Republican president mentioned during the trophy ceremony for the Irish Open that he had been repeatedly asked about the topic by attendees, including several of the golfers. Trump stated, \"Everybody’s been bugging me\" to take action on the tariff issue. In May, Trump had removed tariffs on U.K. whiskey, which includes Scotch and spirits produced in Northern Ireland. The Irish Whiskey Association had called for the removal of the tariffs, stating that such a step would benefit U.S. companies with Irish products in their portfolios and provide clarity for consumers. The specifics of when the tariff would be lifted were not immediately available. Trump had previously granted a tariff break on whiskey for the United Kingdom following meetings with King Charles III and Queen Camilla at the White House, as he posted on social media.",
