Fact File: White House Claim of Beer Victory Doused by Sapporo Brewer
Sapporo said no final decision has been made, and the possible shift would affect only non-alcoholic beer, about 0.5% of Canadian production.
- On Sept. 8, The White House shared a misleading Bloomberg News headline claiming Sapporo Breweries was moving production from Canada to the United States, captioned "Made in America."
- Bloomberg News subsequently edited the headline last week to clarify that Sapporo was only shifting "some production" from Canada to the United States, as the original implied a full relocation.
- Sleeman Breweries clarified that "the potential relocation... is not imminent or finalized," noting that non-alcoholic drinks represent only about 0.5 per cent of its total production in Canada.
- As of Sept. 16, the post has received 358,000 views and been reposted more than 1,000 times, though The White House has not updated or corrected it.
- President Donald Trump signed executive orders banning certain Canadian goods, including non-alcoholic beer, as of Sept. 29, following the United States' earlier imposition of a 50 per cent tariff.
