In the rolling hills of Kentucky where most of the world’s bourbon supply is crafted, the prospect of a new trade war feels like an aching hangover that won’t go away.

Republican U.S. Rep. Andy Barr, whose district spans part of Kentucky bourbon production country, remained supportive of Trump amid the uncertainty hanging over the industry. Republican U.S. Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, meanwhile, voiced concerns Monday about the impact tariffs would have on jobs and consumer prices in the state and beyond.
Chris Swonger, president and CEO of the Distilled Spirits Council of the United States, had urged the U.S. and Canada to reach an agreement that enables the spirits industries in both countries to thrive. Many producers are boxed in by the tariffs, he said.
