Swinney urges Trump to exempt scotch whisky from 10% tariffs

John Swinney said he believed there was now "a window of opportunity" to look at the specific tariff, which is believed to be costing the scotch whisky industry £4m a week.

Despite backing Trump's rival Kamala Harris in last year's US elections, Swinney enjoyed significant access to the president during his five-day visit to Scotland.

They are understood to have sat together at a dinner hosted by the president at the Trump International Resort on the Menie estate on Monday evening, where they spoke for about an hour.
