It's not the biggest move in President Donald Trump's agenda to bring jobs, business, investment and more back into the United States, but every job likely will be an impact for someone.

Now Global News in Canada has announced that a bottler is moving some of its operations from that nation south, into the United States.

The report explained Diageo, a maker of spirits, will reduce operations at a bottling facility in Amherstburg, Ontario, early in 2026.

The jobs will move to the U.S.

The operation bottling Crown Royal products now is set to close in February as part of a strategy for the company that involves making its North American supply chain better.

"Bottling at the Amherstburg facility intended for the U.S. market would be shifting stateside, while bottling for Canadian consumers would move to its Valleyfield, Quebec location," the report said.

In the report, Marsha McIntosh, the company's executive for North American supply, explained, "This was a difficult decision, but one that is crucial to improving the efficiency and resiliency of our supply chain network."

The company promised to "engage" with the community to help employees through its changes.

It reminded Canadians it still will have a "significant" presence in Canada, with its headquarters in the Toronto area and other bottling and distilling operations in Manitoba and Quebec.
