Who sets the price of VW cars ?

The dealer you buy it from.

Who sets the price of scotch whisky ?

The shop you buy it from.

If they are
paying duty,

neccessary ?

No tariffs between those with the deal. Or lower ones compare to from
countries with no deal.

trade deal with teh USA make to someone in teh EU buying an idevice
