Canada's Trade War with US Hits Liquor Industry Hard
Canadian provinces' decision to remove US-made alcohol from store shelves in response to US trade policies has been described as "worse than tariffs" by the boss of Jack Daniel's maker Brown-Forman, highlighting the significant impact on the liquor industry. The move is a retaliation for US tariffs on Canadian goods, with Ontario, the most populated province, taking action this week. The removal of US-made alcoholic drinks from shelves has led to a loss of sales and revenue for manufacturers like Brown-Forman.
