Impact of Tariffs on Beverage Companies: U.S. President Trump's new tariffs on imports from Mexico, Canada, and China could significantly affect major beverage companies like Diageo, Pernod Ricard, and Constellation Brands, with potential earnings impacts due to their reliance on imported products.
Retaliatory Measures by Canada and Mexico: Both Canada and Mexico have announced retaliatory tariffs in response to the U.S. tariffs, which may further complicate the market for American whiskey and tequila brands, affecting companies such as Brown-Forman and Becle.
