Over the past four years, tariffs on aluminum have cost the U.S. beverage industry upward of $1.4 billion, in turn hiking up the prices of consumer goods, according to a recent report from the Beer Institute.
“This new research shows the tariffs on aluminum continue to push up prices on American consumers and businesses,” said Jim McGreevy, president and CEO of the Beer Institute, in today’s press release. “The fastest way to alleviate these high prices on American businesses and families is to repeal the tariffs.”
