Muhammad Explores Tariff Implications for the US Distilled Spirits Sector
The University of Tennessee (UT) Center for National Security and Foreign Affairs (NSFA) Affiliate Andrew Muhammad has authored a policy brief examining the implications of recent tariffs on the distilled spirits sector in the United States.

Muhammad is an agricultural economist specializing in international trade and a professor of agricultural and resource economics at UT’s Herbert College of Agriculture. His specialties include international trade, global food security, food choice and global nutrition, supply chains in developing countries, trade policy, and commodity markets.
