Just before President Trump’s announcement of new tariffs, the U.S. Department of Commerce revealed a 25% duty on imported aluminum cans and canned beer, effective shortly after midnight Friday. This adds to previous tariffs on aluminum products, targeting imports from all countries. The Aluminum Association supports these measures, citing issues with Mexican brewers using Chinese aluminum. However, the new tariffs could negatively impact the beer industry, already facing declining sales. Industry experts urge the administration to reconsider these tariffs to avoid increasing grocery prices and protect domestic jobs.
