Ford to maintain U.S. booze ban until tariffs removed or new trade deal reached

Ontario's ban on U.S. alcohol, in effect since March 2025, aims to pressure tariff removal amid a trade war, with Canadian-made alcohol sales up 19%, officials said.

  • Ontario Premier Doug Ford will keep the ban on U.S. alcohol until U.S. President Donald Trump removes tariffs on Canadian goods or a new trade deal is established.
  • The ban has resulted in a 67% increase in Ontario wine sales and a 19% increase in Canadian alcohol sales at the Liquor Control Board of Ontario.
  • Ford ordered the removal of U.S. alcohol from shelves in March in response to Trump's tariffs on Canadian products.
  • Ford hinted that the alcohol ban will impact future negotiations on a North American free-trade deal.
