I have consistently made the case for Scotch Whisky to be exempt from US tariffs, and President Trump has committed to removing them.
Now Iโm in Kentucky to build on that progress, strengthen ties with the bourbon industry and back one of Scotlandโs most iconic exports.
60% of all casks used in Scotch Whisky production come from Kentucky.
Today, First Minister John Swinney visited Kentucky Cooperage and Kentucky Bourbon Barrel to see that connection first-hand and to keep up the momentum on removing tariffs on Scotch whisky.

The proposed peace agreement between the US and Iran is a welcome step towards ending the war.
Any deal must focus on securing a lasting peace, and must guarantee safe and toll-free passage through the Strait of Hormuz, easing the ongoing cost of living crisis.

Between the bagpipes, the kilts, and thousands of Scotland fans turning Boston into their home away from home, the Tartan Army has made quite an impression on Massachusetts. Itโs only fitting that I have my own kit and tartan for the next match.
As the dust settles on an amazing few days in Boston, I could not be more proud of @ScotlandNT and the Tartan Army - wonderful ambassadors for Scotland. ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ณ๓ ฃ๓ ด๓ ฟ
