Among those who are certainly most concerned about the duties Trump has announced are American barley producers
beer consumption in the US is slowly and steadily declining
- in 2024 it reached its lowest level in 40 years
- many Americans prefer other alcoholic beverages, particularly hard seltzers and canned cocktails
- millennials (born 1981/1996) and Gen Z (born 1997/2012) then drink less alcohol than previous generations
messico🇲🇽 is the third largest importer of barley and the largest importer of American malt
canada🇨🇦 is the largest importer of American barley and has already implemented tariffs on 4 March in response to those decided by Trump
canada is also the leading exporter of fertilisers to the US
- the prices of fertilisers imported fromCina🇨🇳 have already risen after Trump imposed tariffs on Canada as of 4 February
the aluminium used for cans also comes from Canada and is now subject to 25% tariffs imposed by the White House in recent weeks
