Alberta premier says she won't retaliate Trump's latest threats with alcohol ban
Smith says an alcohol ban would be an extraordinary response as some provinces still limit U.S. liquor purchases after earlier tariff threats.
- Alberta Premier Danielle Smith rejected an alcohol ban as retaliation for President Donald Trump's threatened 50 per cent tariff on Canadian goods, calling such measures extraordinary.
- Last year, several Canadian provincial liquor boards stopped purchasing American alcohol in response to Trump's previous tariff threats and annexation comments.
- Smith emphasized a diplomatic strategy, saying she prefers to "win the hearts and minds of Americans" rather than impose punitive measures against U.S. products.
- Without a provincial alcohol ban, retailers and consumers in Alberta will make independent decisions about American alcohol sales and consumption as tariffs loom.
- Alcohol remains a politically sensitive trade issue in the United States, with Ontario and Quebec maintaining restrictions while other provinces lifted temporary bans, reflecting ongoing tariff uncertainty.
