'We're trying to sound the alarm' | Kentucky bourbon industry worries as potential 50% EU-imposed tariffs loom

CINCINNATI — Kentucky's key bourbon industry finds itself staring down the barrel of potential new, EU-imposed tariffs come March, thanks to an ongoing trade war between the United States and the European Union.

….. “We saw tens — if not hundreds — of millions of millions of dollars of impact on exports that the bourbon industry is just recovering from," Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear said during a Jan. 16 press conference. "A state, again, that voted for Trump by 30 points will get hit incredibly hard."
