Seems like a fair trade. The alcohol thing is the one they keep bringing up the most, after all.

Isn’t that some provinces doing that on their own?
Yes. I imagine provinces whose major industries have been targeted by tariffs are willing to play ball on reciprocal policy adjustments.

Remember it isn’t a liquor ban, it is certain provinces alcohol monopolies just not buying American liquor, a distinct difference.
Seeing as many of my coworkers and friends have lost their jobs and my job was put at risk, directly due to Americas games with steel tariffs, I am not exactly in the mood to be accommodating them.
THEY should be the ones coming to the table with concessions and a apology not the other way around.
Anything else seems like the peace in our time declaration.

Seems like the Brits are next up in the cross hairs on the Digital Services Tax ......
www.cnbc.com
Trump is basically telling the US, you don't have any right to tax any US corporation. This has nothing, nothing to do with trade as I see it, the American 'consumer' is not getting 'ripped off', American manufacturing is not be sent away to another country. Its about taxing a US corporation.
Trump warns of ‘big tariff’ if UK doesn’t drop digital services tax on U.S. tech firms
The tax is a 2% levy on the revenues of search engines, social media services and online marketplaces that derive value from U.K. users.

It's also, as stated, a tax on revenues, not on profits. That alone would be a sticking point.

Trump offers immediate tariff relief to Canadian aluminum and steel companies that commit to U.S. expansion
Riddle me this, how does one move the lakes and rivers powering the aluminum smelters? They're the entire reason it's both cheap and viable up here.
This "offer" was also extended to Mexico.
The US is already having issues just powering all the datacenters being built, in both power generation and the overall sorry state of the electrical grid countrywide.

I think I saw it posted here, but I'll say it anyways.
Trump put tariffs on Canadian Aluminium. Made it expensive. We shifted our trade to Europe. America bought their Aluminium from the gulf states as a result.
Now that the strait of Hormuz is closed...
