The First Minister has been cautioned that his position on the US President could lead to severe economic consequences, including potential tariffs on key Scottish exports like whisky and salmon. Tory MSP Murdo Fraser urged the Scottish leader to avoid “grandstanding on matters he has no control over.”
The party’s economy spokesman warned, “Some of the rhetoric risks angering a President who could turn round and impose tariffs on Scotland’s most iconic products. That would have a devastating effect on sectors such as whisky, salmon, and cashmere”, reported the Sun.
