I'm Chad Pergroom. A glass of whiskey is as American as apple pie.

Who was the first distiller in the nation? What makes it

Scotch? What makes it whiskey? And how does it all tie into Congress? I see things

like Dow Yun and I see Ben Romick and I see Glendronick these are a little

more obscure whiskies which you'll see here once in a while but you can usually only get there.

I'm Jessica Rosenthal we look back at a time when multiple Republican candidates were swarming

Iowa, showing up at the state fair, trying to win over voters just a few months ago.

You know, just walking through the livestock barn, so just making sure that these candidates recognize the importance of agriculture, not just to Iowa, but the importance of beating our entire nation.

This is the Fox News rundown from Washington. A major trade dispute between the European Union and the United States was avoided recently, you know, a couple of years

ago when President Trump was in office, they put major tariffs on steel and aluminum

being shipped from the European Union to the United States.

Well, the retaliatory tariffs that the EU put on American products was for motorcycles,

and guess what, whiskey and American bourbon.

And so there was been a big trade dispute back and forth

for quite a while here.

They thought they were going to go to an increase

in these tariffs in 2021, but they suspended them for two years.

Well guess what was coming up here, the end of that suspension of the tariffs, and so these tariffs

were supposed to go up by 50% at the end of the year here.

If you were making American whiskey or bourbon

and sending that to the EU, that is the biggest market
