A timeline of Donald Trump’s trade war with Canada

Manitoba’s Premier Wab Kinew is hesitant to commit to a new U.S. trade deal with President Donald Trump due to concerns over the reliability of the agreement. The deal, which is said to include better steel tariffs, would see Canada and the U.S. avoid further tariffs on Canadian goods. However, Kinew prefers to fight for the complete removal of tariffs rather than accept a potentially flawed deal.

On the other hand, Prime Minister Mark Carney is also advocating for the return of U.S. liquor to provincial shelves as part of the trade negotiations. Kinew remains open to this possibility but maintains his right to revoke the decision if necessary. Meanwhile, a separate issue in Winnipeg involves a nightclub exceeding capacity limits and impeding liquor inspectors, leading to two compliance orders from the Liquor, Gaming and Cannabis Authority of Manitoba.
