Gospodarka · Canada-U.S. trade · ArchiwumCanada Offers to End U.S. Booze Ban to Stop Aug. 19 Tariffs — Provinces Push BackNapisano 7 września 2026 21:22 UTCOglądajTranskrypcja0:00Canada is prepared to end provincial0:02bans on American alcohol sales to head0:04off new 50% US tariffs on some Canadian0:06goods set for August [music] 19th,0:08according to two industry sources cited0:10by CBC News and first reported by the0:12Globe and Mail. Ottawa is also willing0:14to [music] lift retaliatory tariffs on0:16the US auto sector and make changes to0:18dairy quota systems, but the same0:20sources say it will not [music]0:21dismantle supply management. In return,0:24Canada is seeking lower rates on section0:26232 tariffs covering steel, aluminum,0:28and lumber, where costs fall directly0:30[music] on workers and producers. The0:32window is narrowing. The new 50% tariffs0:34are set to take effect August 19th,0:36which Ottawa views as a make-or-break0:38[music] moment. If they are imposed,0:40sources say there would be no political0:42space to return to negotiations.0:44Washington has told Canada [music]0:45tariffs will remain as long as President0:47Donald Trump is president, according to0:49the same two industry sources, a stance0:52that undercuts the value of Ottawa's0:53concessions before talks resume. [music]0:55And the most visible offer is not0:57Ottawa's alone to give. Alcohol bans are1:00a provincial decision, [music] making a1:01federal promise potentially contentious,1:04and two premiers are already pushing1:05back.1:12British Columbia Premier David Eby1:14[music] said no way in hell to putting1:15American booze back on shelves. And1:18Ontario Premier Doug Ford has expressed1:19[music] strong opposition to restoring1:21US alcohol sales. Without premiers1:24consent, Ottawa cannot deliver that1:26concession [music] while it seeks relief1:27for steel, aluminum, and lumber1:29communities that have absorbed tariffs1:30since last year. Canada is requesting a1:33joint statement [music] with the United1:34States to formally push ahead with Cosma1:36review talks. Mexico and the United1:38States have already been holding formal1:39negotiations on the agreement, and1:41Canadian and US officials have agreed to1:43daily contact between now [music] and1:45August 19th to try to bridge the gaps.1:47Dominic LeBlanc is returning to1:48Washington [music] next week, and US1:50trade representative Jameson Greer is1:52open to meetings then. But whether daily1:54contact can bridge [music] a provincial1:55block on alcohol, a limited dairy1:58opening that preserves supply1:59management, and a [music] US position2:01that tariffs persist under President2:03Trump before that deadline erases2:05political space remains unresolved.Przeczytaj artykułOś czasu historiiHeyDexKrótki film ↗
