Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

Global trade is facing protectionist trends stemming from the U.S. administration. The trade friction is affecting supply chains, with reports noting that U.S. tariffs have caused Canadian brewers to source aluminum cans from China instead of the U.S.

Tariffs and trade controls between the U.S. and China are part of a larger trend of global protectionism.
