- Speaking on the 18th Green, Trump told the crowd, "On behalf of the United States of America, I am going to take the tariffs off Irish whiskey," drawing loud cheers.
- In May, Trump lifted tariffs on Scotch and whiskey from Northern Ireland after King Charles III and Queen Camilla visited the White House; the Irish Whiskey Association had previously advocated for similar removal.
