Feb. 2 (UPI) -- U.S. alcohol is being pulled from Canadian shelves as provinces of the Great White North respond to tariffs imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump on their country over the weekend.
Trump made good on his promise to impose 25% tariffs on imported goods and 10% tariffs on imported energy sources on Canada on Saturday over the alleged inflow of drugs, specifically fentanyl, into the United States via their shared border.
At $776 billion a year, Canada is the United States' largest trading partner, second only to Mexico, which Trump also hit with similar tariffs. However, only some 50 pounds of fentanyl was seized at the U.S. northern border last year, compared to more than 18,000 pounds at the southern border, according to U.S. statistics.
