Ontario Premier Doug Ford says he will maintain his ban on American booze despite Canada dropping some retaliatory tariffs in the ongoing trade war with the United States.
Ford says he will drop the ban on selling U.S. alcohol at the Liquor Control Board of Ontario when U.S. President Donald Trump removes tariffs placed on Canadian goods or when the two countries strike a new free trade deal.
Premier Doug Ford says a new USMCA deal or the full removal of U.S. tariffs would convince him to bring back American alcohol to the LCBO.
Until then, "they aren't getting any booze on our shelves," Ford said. https://t.co/z6hd5IWW4L
