Scotch Whisky tariff imposed by the United States British Trade Secretary: unfair

Beijing, August 17 (Xinhua) according to the “Central News Agency” report, British International Trade Minister TRAS published a comment in the Daily Telegraph on the 16th that he would boycott the US tariff on Scotch whisky, calling it “unacceptable and unfair”. The U.S. government said last week it would maintain a 15% tariff on European aircraft maker Airbus aircraft and a 25% tariff on other European goods, including Scotch whisky. These trade disputes have a long history, but the United States has not threatened to impose other new tariffs. < / P > < p > the Scotch whisky industry has warned that the US government’s decision to maintain the tax will put the entire industry’s prospects at risk. The British government has said it will step up its demand for the United States to stop imposing tariffs on goods such as Scotch single malt whisky. < / P > < p > the fourth round of trade talks between the United States and the United States will begin in the next few weeks, Ms. trass said she would meet with us trade representative Wright Heyzer to discuss the existing tariffs on Single Malt Scotch and other goods. In addition, she noted that the UK and Japan had reached a consensus on the main items of the trade agreement, which would go beyond the agreement between the EU and Japan. She also confirmed earlier reports that Britain and Japan were trying to reach an agreement by the end of August. The process of negotiating new trade agreements with the United States, Japan, Australia and New Zealand has been smooth, Mr. trass said.
