President Donald Trump's blunt-force use of tariffs has forged a rare bipartisan alliance among Kentucky's top leaders — Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear and Republican Sens. Mitch McConnell and Rand Paul — in lamenting brewing trade wars that could stagger the bourbon sector.

As the U.S. remains embattled in an ever-changing trade war with Canada and tariffs from the European Union loom, bourbon makers in Kentucky are trying to find their footing and plan a path forward.

Now, Europe’s infatuation with Kentucky bourbon and other U.S. spirits is threatened by the potential 50% tariff — double the previous levy — that would inflict “irreparable harm to distillers large and small,” said Chris Swonger, the council’s CEO.

Distilleries in the heart of America's bourbon industry are finding themselves in the crosshairs of a brewing trade war between the U.S. and Canada.

The tariffs began Tuesday as the President demands those countries do more to stop the flow of fentanyl into the U.S.

President Trump's 25% tariffs on all imported steel and aluminum have taken effect. Victor Yarbrough, CEO of Brough Brothers Distillery, the first African American-owned distillery in Kentucky, joins "The Daily Report" to discuss the impact.

It’s becoming a trend that no one in the bourbon industry wants to see. Stephen P. Schmidt has the latest on Green River Distilling Company announcing layoffs at its Owensboro facility.
