It was a rhetorical question. I know what Israel do with their money. It's hard to ignore that wall.

American Jews disapprove most strongly of Trump’s handling of “family separations at the Mexican border (78 percent), handling of DACA recipients (74 percent), guns (74 percent), handling of the Mueller Report (73 percent), anti-Semitism (71 percent), building of the border wall (71 percent), taxes (70 percent), Supreme Court nominations (69 percent), health care (69 percent), and banning immigration from certain Muslim-majority countries (66 percent).”

Yes the wall is both nasty and ironic.

Haha! Thats funny! Of course Israelies (or any people, really) want difficult access for foreigns into their own country, but easy access into foreign countries!

Reminds me of all those UK expats living in spain that voted Brexit cos 'immigrants ruined Britain'!

But, why are the US hitting a Scottish product, if their truck is with (what I believe is predominantly) a Franco/German company?

Genuine question; wouldn't the US be better off tariffing things that are produced and exported by those countries, especially when relations with the UK are at a very delicate time?

Is it about teaching the UK a lesson; the US will persecute the UK if it stays kosha with EU? Does UK really want to submit to such a partnership?

Because we're all in the EU, a protectionist racket. They can target what they want for reasons they don't need to specify.

If the EU is a protectionist racket, how does it serve the UK to be outside the protectionist entity, given that those are your largest trade partners?

Which is why I ask the question; as they haven't specified their reasons, why do we think they targeted Scottish booze?

edit: Honest, I think the US may have just ran numbers through a calculator to forecast which tariffs would give the sting they are looking to inflict, without considering the diplomatic implications on slamming a tariff on a country they have previously claimed they want to have good trade relations with?

I’m not happy about the scotch tariffs. Bourbon isn’t as good for drinking neat

I think they’re retaliatory since the EU tariffs bourbon? Not sure

We have said that we wanted a trade deal with the EU, and protectionism never works in the long run.
