Lawson Whiting, president and chief executive of Brown-Forman, has warned President Biden that US whiskey producers face “more harm” if the US fails to resolve a tariff dispute with the European Union.
Back in 2018, Donald Trump slapped 25% penalties on imports of steel and aluminum, citing “national security” as his grounds for doing so. In retaliation the EU (of which Britain was then a member) imposed mirror duties on imports of iconic American goods including Bourbon and other American whiskey as well as jeans, orange juice, tobacco, peanut butter, yachts and Harley-Davidson motorbikes.
Those tariffs are due to double on June 1, prompting Whiting to say: “The steel and aluminum dispute is still hurting American whiskey consumers, workers and companies on both sides of the Atlantic,” and that unless they are removed US distillers face “more harm”.
