Kentucky Distillers' Association responds to Trump tariffs: 'Hard-working Americans … will suffer'

Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear criticized President Donald Trump's tariffs, stating that they would negatively impact hardworking Americans and raise prices on groceries, referring to it as the "Trump tax."
