Alcohol, autos among key irritants in Canada-U.S. trade talks
Negotiators are seeking relief on existing sectoral tariffs as provinces resist lifting alcohol bans, with 50% U.S. levies on nearly $28 billion in goods set for Wednesday.
- The United States plans to impose 50 percent tariffs on $20 billion of Canadian goods starting Wednesday, escalating trade tensions between the two countries.
- The tariffs cover various products including alcohol, wine, furniture, hockey equipment, wood products, autos, steel, lumber, and dairy, affecting goods that usually receive preferential treatment under the US-Mexico-Canada Agreement.
- Canada and the United States are engaged in intense trade talks aimed at preventing this tariff conflict, with negotiations described as very intense and delicate.
- Canadian industries such as wood products and wine fear job losses and economic harm if these tariffs take effect, as manufacturers and customers may not be able to absorb the costs.
