Are you implying that they had some moral obligation to overpay for aluminum cans just to "buy American?" (They didn't.)
BBB didn’t imply anything. Campbell CEO said it himself. He said if food grade aluminum was available locally, he’d buy it locally. My buddy works for TW Metals in Pennsylvania and they have plenty of food grade aluminum for purchase in bulk.

The United States lost 12,000 manufacturing jobs for the month, continuing a downward trend since its most recent peak in February 2023, according to the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics. Overall, employers added a disappointing 22,000 jobs in August, signaling a slowdown in U.S. hiring.

did he say aluminum or tin?
every soft drink and energy drinks are made with food grade aluminum.
Soup usually comes in tin cans. I do a lot of business with Campbell's in Ohio. They use steel/tin cans.

Beekhuizen said Campbell’s has no choice but to source steel and aluminium from overseas, what he described as “food grade tinplate” for its canned products.
“There is not enough capacity available in the United States or supply available in the United States. If it was available, we would buy it locally,” he said
“We're not able to do that. So, as a result, we have no choice but to import that key raw material for our product. There is, obviously, coming back to tariffs, there is a 50% tariff on that.”

Cleveland-Cliffs, the current owner of the tinplate operation remaining in Weirton, announced Thursday morning its plans to idle “indefinitely” the tinplate production plant in April. Company officials have pointed to the recent decision by the U.S. International Trade Commission, denying the company’s petition for trade duties on imported tin products as a reason for the closure.
In what was our final effort to maintain tinplate production here in America, we proved that we are forced to operate on an uneven playing field, and that the deck was stacked in favor of the importers,” Lourenco Goncalves, the company’s chairman, president and chief executive officer, said in a release Thursday morning. “Despite the Department of Commerce finding evidence of dumping and subsidization from respondent countries, the ITC shockingly ruled against imposition of tariffs, keeping the uneven playing field in place and making it impossible for us to viably produce tinplate.

Dollar General is a scam. And they abuse their employees. Never set foot in one again.

wow! if the price of a can of soup is a concern for you, then you have a "you" problem, not a "we" problem.

Everyone knows unless you can be literally 100% self-sufficient, someone is ripping you off. That's why I mine my own ore, smelt it down to form my own tools, use those tools to till my land, grow my own food, and live entirely off of that. My wife, she grows and picks the cotton and spins it into clothes for us and the children to wear. We travel by foot in shoes that we cobbled ourselves, because I'll be damned if I have a trade deficit with the shoe store. It's a simple life, but we're not being taken advantage of.
I've been led to believe there is a requirement for such a post. I await with anticipation.

That’s how the Amish live. The hardcore ones don’t even use utilities.

Price gouging. Please explain to all of us how products grown in the US are somehow causing 30% spikes in pricing.

How does this statement have any relevance here?

Are you suggesting tariffs increases the debt?
