Premiers respond to Trump’s tariffs with bans on U.S. booze sales, calls to buy Canadian

Several of Canada’s premiers reacted to U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs by pulling American booze off the shelves of their provincial liquor stores, one of the few levers they have at their disposal to strike back at the economic aggression from south of the border.Provincial or territorial governments in B.C., Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia, Manitoba, Newfoundland and Labrador and Northwest Territories all announced bans or restrictions on sales of U.S. booze. The moves come on top of the federal government’s initial list of retaliatory tariffs, unveiled on Sunday, which also targets American wine, beer and other alcohol for matching Canadian levies.
