After a tariff dispute with the Trump administration led Canadian provinces to remove U.S. spirits from store shelves, American whiskey exports to Canada have plummeted by nearly 70 percent. Previously, Canada was a dependable market for American whiskey, contributing to a $250 million annual industry. However, recent data from the Distilled Spirits Council of the United States (DISCUS) shows that exports have dropped to just $89 million. This significant decline marks Canada as one of the largest losses for the U.S. spirits industry, highlighting the impact of international trade tensions on American businesses.
