INDEPENDENCE and rejoining the EU is the only way to protect Scotland’s exports, the SNP have warned, as India looks set to slap hundreds of millions of pounds on UK exports including Scottish whisky and gin.
The move comes as India seeks leverage in trade negotiations with the UK, as both governments work to seal a new trade deal following the Tories' Brexit agreement.
The SNP have previously urged the UK Government to communicate with the Indian government to reduce the pre-existing 150% tariff on Scottish whisky, with India currently the world’s largest whisky market.
