Trump Ireland

President Donald Trump says he plans to remove a 10% tariff on Irish whiskey. Trump said Sunday during the trophy ceremony for the Irish Open that he'd been asked about the issue by everyone, including some of the golfers. He said, “Everybody’s been bugging me” to do it. “And I said, ‘On behalf of the United States of America, I am going to take the tariffs off'" Irish whiskey.’” Irish whiskey currently faces the standard tariff imposed by Trump on most imports from the European Union, which was reduced from 15% to 10% in July.

President Donald Trump is playing down the need for his administration to check the development of artificial intelligence. He says he's worried about ceding America’s edge over China in a global competition and that winning would help address the risks from the advancing technology. He told reporters Sunday during his Ireland trip that there's a need for some regulation. But he provided no specifics about potential rules. He says the U.S. is leading China in the development of AI and “frankly, I want to keep it that way because whoever wins AI wins.”
