May 26, 2025 10:00 AM

(Reuters) - Diageo ( DEO ), the world's top spirits maker, on Monday forecast a $150 million annual hit from U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs, and launched a $500 million cost-savings programme. 

"We view the near-term industry pressure as largely macroeconomic-driven, with continued uncertainty impacting both the timing and pace of recovery," CEO Debra Crew said in a trading statement.

Diageo ( DEO ), the maker of Johnnie Walker whisky and Guinness beer, also reported a 5.9% rise in third-quarter organic sales, and affirmed its full-year forecast.
