Saskatchewan premier announces 50% tariff on American liquor
Premier Scott Moe says the reciprocal levy answers new U.S. tariffs on Canadian alcohol, with the province matching the rate at 50 per cent.
- Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe announced Tuesday that the province will impose a 50 per cent reciprocal fee on American alcohol products starting Sept. 8, responding to escalating trade tensions.
- The decision follows the United States recently implementing a 50 per cent tariff on a range of Canadian alcohol products, forcing provinces to pursue retaliatory measures protecting local industries.
- Federal authorities also introduced retaliatory levies on $27.6 billion worth of imports from the U.S., aiming to support the national economy amid the ongoing trade dispute.
- Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew praised Canada's counter-tariffs on Tuesday, stating, "I'm proud of our country right now," while urging citizens to support local businesses through the "Buy Canadian" initiative.
- Trade talks between the countries broke down late Friday, leaving the bilateral economic relationship uncertain as these new tariffs take effect Sept. 8.
