Morgan McGarvey (D-Ky.) decried the news of the production stoppage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s hard to overstate just how devastating Trump\u2019s tariffs are for America\u2019s signature spirit,\u201d McGarvey said in his post. \u201cThousands of Kentuckians power the bourbon industry \u2014 we will all feel the impact of this.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Within the last year, President Trump\u2019s tariff policy has rattled markets around the globe, strained relationships with allies like Canada and the European Union and increased economic uncertainty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A report from this fall found that U.S. liquor exports to Canada decreased 85 percent in 2025\u2019s second quarter, with the report noting the \u201cadverse impact\u201d of trade tensions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On Sunday, National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett said that Trump would probably support legislation to give $2,000 tariff rebate checks to Americans next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI would expect that in the new year, the president will bring forth a proposal to Congress to make that happen,\u201d Hassett said on CBS News\u2019s \u201cFace the Nation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The National Economic Council director said the measure\u2019s success would come down to what Congress does about it. Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) said in November that the U.S. \u201ccan\u2019t afford\u201d a proposal like that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Hill has reached out to the White House for comment on McGarvey\u2019s post.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jim Beam, the Bourbon company, is stopping its main distillery\u2019s production this year. \u201cWe plan to pause distillation at our main distillery on the James B.
