Due to the new 25% tariffs imposed by Trump, Canadian stores are halting the sale of alcohol from the U.S. In response, Canada has implemented its own tariffs on American goods worth 155 billion Canadian dollars.
After the new tariffs imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump's administration on goods from Canada and Mexico came into effect, American alcoholic beverages began to disappear from the shelves of Canadian stores. This was reported by NBC News, writes UNN.

Canadian social media users have posted photos and videos showing how stores across the country are removing alcoholic beverages produced in the U.S. from sale.
For example, Joshua Gariepy, a university student in Quebec, posted a photo on Wednesday showing empty shelves in a store in Quebec where American spirits were once displayed.
"For me, this photo perfectly reflects the situation: the sign 'Products from the USA' remains, but the shelves are empty," Gariepy said in an interview, referring to the sign above the empty shelf that reads 'Etats-Unis', which in French means 'United States'.
The government of New Brunswick announced on Facebook that it has stopped purchasing alcohol from the U.S., posting a video of an employee repackaging wine bottles from the American section of the Alcool NB Liquor store.
In another video posted on TikTok by user @Keltieheather, empty shelves under various signs reading 'USA' are shown in a store in Nova Scotia.
