The agreement builds on Canada's existing trade advantages with the U.S.\n\nEight provinces have prohibited the sale of U.S. alcohol for over a year in response to previous U.S. tariffs. The Trump administration cited the alcohol ban, Canada's dairy supply management system, and tariff-free auto quotas as key reasons for the proposed tariff plan.\n\nHouston stated that the \"core elements\" of supply management will remain unchanged under the agreement.",
