The International Brotherhood of Teamsters wants President Donald Trump to make one of America's favorite imports a lot more American. The Teamsters are urging the Administration to impose significant tariffs on Mexican beer, arguing more of it should be brewed by U.S. Workers instead of across the border. The Teamsters argue Mexico has fueled its Brewing Industry through Government-backed investment incentives, lower labor costs and export-focused policies that have expanded production and exports, helping imported beer capture a growing share of the U.S. market. The tariff push could have implications for some of America's best-known imported beer brands - including Modelo, Corona, Pacifico and Tecate, much of which is brewed in Mexico before being shipped to retailers across the U.S. "We can brew Modelo beer. It's the same recipe. Let's brew it in the United States," Teamsters President Sean O'Brien told Fox News Digital. "We are very good at producing goods and services in this country." In its filing, the Union said Mexican beer production has increased 85% since 2014, with about 80% of the country's beer exports shipped to the U.S. Meanwhile, capacity utilization at major U.S. breweries fell from 82% in 2013 to 65% in 2023, a trend the Teamsters say threatens thousands of well-paying Union jobs.
