The Trump administration imposed tariffs on Canada and Mexico, leading to Canadians finding empty shelves where American liquor products once were. Social media users posted photos and videos of stores across the country pulling American-made liquor from their inventories. The government of New Brunswick and the Liquor Control Board of Ontario have stopped purchasing American alcohol. In response to the U.S. tariffs, Canada imposed its own tariffs on American goods. The escalating trade war could lead to price hikes for consumers and impact the sale of U.S. spirits in Canada. Kentucky whiskey products were among those removed from Canadian store shelves. The Distilled Spirits Council expressed concern over the situation and estimated that 31,000 American jobs could be lost due to the tariffs. The impact of the tariffs is expected to be felt across the wine and spirits supply chain, affecting businesses throughout the industry. The trade war has the potential to harm both American and Canadian economies, with significant implications for the alcohol industry in both countries.
