In Kentucky bourbon country, the newest trade war feels like a hangover that won't go away

In the hills of Kentucky where most of the world’s bourbon supply is crafted, a new trade war would feel like an aching hangover that won’t go away. Kentucky bourbon producers again find themselves in the crosshairs as a target for retaliation after President Donald Trump ordered new tariffs on U.S. neighbors Canada and Mexico. American whiskey exports slumped amid a trade dispute during Trump’s first term. Canada responded to this latest outbreak of trade warfare by initially ordering tariffs on American imports including beverages starting Tuesday. Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear says tariffs will hurt working families in the Bluegrass State.
