Andy Beshear on Free Trade

 

 


Worked to remove harmful tariffs against bourbon industry

Kentucky was already the worldwide leader in bourbon production, but in 2021 we saw the industry continue to expand, both in production and tourism. I must say a special personal thank you to Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo, whom I personally worked with to remove harmful bourbon tariffs and ensure a bright future for a signature industry.

Strongly oppose Trump's tariffs and its damages

And despite national headwinds, despite the damages of President Trump's tariff policy that both of our U.S. Senators and this governor strongly oppose, Kentucky's economy is still growing. According to a recent Moody's study, most states saw their economies slow and even slide into recession last year. But in Kentucky, we're still expanding, showing our nation what an economy built to last looks like.
