What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

President Donald Trump issued an executive order that increased U.S. aluminum tariffs to 50 percent. This impacts a company based in Saskatchewan, where Michael Brennan serves as CEO. The company relies on a process where aluminum ingot is sent to the U.S. for processing into sheets, which are then returned to Canada to create beer cans.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The additional levy on beer cans adds up, as the company fills 45 million cans annually. Michael Brennan stated that the tariff issue has a significant impact on the company's costs per unit, as they cannot eliminate all inputs from the U.S.

The trade tensions involve retaliatory surcharges installed by Saskatchewan against U.S. alcohol tariffs since the trade war began over a year ago.
