Jack Daniel’s Maker Complains About Canadian Boycott, Ignores Trump Tariffs
Brown-Forman CEO Lawson Whiting criticized Canada’s removal of US alcohol from shelves as a disproportionate response to US tariffs on Canadian goods, deeming it more damaging than the tariffs themselves. This action, taken by provinces including Ontario’s LCBO, eliminates US alcohol sales completely. While impacting Brown-Forman, the loss represents only 1% of its overall sales. The Canadian government’s retaliatory tariffs, alongside provincial actions, target US beer, spirits, and wine.
