US President Donald Trump congratulates Scotland’s First Minister, John Swinney, on his re-election following SNP election success, saying Swinney is a “good man” and describing the result as a “big election victory.” Multiple outlets report that Trump makes the remarks in a post on his Truth Social account. In the same message, Trump also highlights cooperation related to Scottish whisky tariffs, stating that he and Swinney worked together to secure tariff relief for whisky. The reporting also references commentary in Scotland about who should receive credit for tariff outcomes, but the US president’s post itself focuses on praising Swinney personally and underscoring the whisky tariff issue. While the outlets differ in emphasis, they agree on the core points: Trump publicly congratulates Swinney on his electoral win and links the relationship to efforts affecting Scottish whisky tariffs. No additional policy details beyond the tariff-relief claim are provided in the supplied summaries.
