(Chicago, IL) -- Molson Coors Beverage Company is reducing its workforce in the Americas.

Molson Coors' decision comes as U.S. alcohol companies grapple with uncertainties driven by cautious consumer spending and tariff-driven volatilities. The company plans to reinvest in its core categories of beers, non-alcohol beverages and energy drinks, and it expects to incur charges over 35-million-dollars in the fourth quarter.
