The Scottish Whisky Association said the United States is its largest single market and it is being unfairly targeted after a WTO ruling on Airbus.
The U.S. plans to impose a 25% tariff on Scottish whisky imports as well as other EU goods including aircraft and agricultural products.
The WTO decision was related to the accusation that several EU governments granted illegal subsidies to the plane maker Airbus as it looked to develop and sell planes. The WTO said the move had negatively impacted sales of U.S. made planes in the large and very large aircraft market. "Despite the fact that this dispute is about aircraft subsidies, our sector has been hit hard, with Single Malt Scotch Whisky representing over half of the total value of U.K. products on the U.S. Government tariff list."
