EXPECTED IN DALLAS, FORT WORTH,
AND DENNON.
PRESIDENT TRUMP'S NEW
ALUMINUM AND STEEL TARIFFS HAVE
BARRELLED ACROSS AMERICA IN JUST
OVER A WEEK.
BEER BUSINESSES SAY
IT COULD BREW SERIOUS TROUBLE
FOR BEER AND LOCAL ECONOMIES!
Reporter: THERE ARE TWO
ITEMS THE TEXAS ALE PROJECT
BREWERY IN DALLAS HAS IN
SURPLUS.
BEER AND ALUMINUM.
WE COULDN'T INVEST IN A CAN
LAW AND A BOTTLING LICENSE.
Reporter: THE CAN CHOICE
COULD HAUNT THE OWNER.
IT'S A BIG IMPACT.
EVERY
PENNY COUNTS.
Reporter: PRESIDENT TRUMP
JUST ORDERED A 25% TARIFF ON
STEEL, AND A 10% TARIFF ON
ALUMINUM IMPORTED FROM ALL
COUNTRIES EXCEPT CANADA AND
MEXICO.
THE HOPE IS THE
INCREASED COST ON IMPORTS WILL
FORCE BUSINESSES TO TURN TO
AMERICAN INDUSTRIES.
A STRONG STEEL AND ALUMINUM
INDUSTRY ARE VITAL TO OUR
NATIONAL SECURITY.
ABSOLUTELY
VITAL!
YOU DON'T HAVE STEEL, YOU
DON'T HAVE A COUNTRY.
Reporter: BUYING AS MUCH
AMERICAN METAL AS HE CAN, THERE
ISN'T ENOUGH TO KEEP UP WIT
DEMANDS.
IT'S NOT A GOOD THING.
I
DON'T WANT TO BE SITTING HERE
THINKING ABOUT PRICE CHANGES AND
MARGINS WHEN I'M TRYING TO RUN A
BUSINESS.
I WANT TO GROW.
Reporter: TRADITIONAL
DOMESTIC BEER BEVERAGE GIANTS
ARE ALSO CONCERNED.
MILLER-COORS
WROTE "THIS FLIES IN THE FACE OF
THE ADMINISTRATION'S COMMITMENT
TO GROWING OUR ECONOMY AS IT
WILL MEAN HIGHER PRICES FOR
CONSUMERS AND LIKELY THE LOSS OF
JOBS."
THOMPSON UNDERSTANDS THE
PRESIDENT'S MOTIVATION BUT
WORRIES AT WHAT COF.
ALL I KNOW IS THAT IT'S
GOING TO HURT BUSINESSES BEFORE
IT GETS BETTER.
