Some premiers optimistic about trade talks with U.S. ahead of extended deadline

Several premiers in Canada are optimistic about trade talks with the United States, despite little enthusiasm regarding lifting 50 percent tariffs on $28 billion worth of goods. Premier Doug Ford of Ontario has not publicly commented on the agreement, which aims to return American liquor to provincial shelves. Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew supports the united approach but believes Canada should continue fighting against the erratic and untrustworthy U.S. President Donald Trump.

Other premiers like Wab Kinew, Tim Houston of Nova Scotia, and Susan Holt of New Brunswick have expressed their support for the deal, while Premier Tony Wakeham of Newfoundland and Labrador confirms all premiers agreed to return U.S. booze to their shelves.
