Even if the tariffs were to be reversed tomorrow, one wine business leader said, it’ll take "at least a year, if not longer, for my industry to recover.”
Canada’s break from American-made wine and the Trump administration’s global tariffs have compounded the struggles of the United States’ already-stressed wine industry to the point that it may be difficult for much of it “to come back from,” an American wine organization leader told NBC News.
“Canada is the single most important export market for U.S. wines with retail sales in excess of $1.1 billion annually,” Robert Koch, the California Wine Institute’s president and CEO, said in a statement.
Last month Canada united to boycott American wines — taking all U.S.-made vino and alcohol off its liquor and wine store shelves and out of restaurants across the country — as an aggressive retaliatory response to Trump’s tariffs on its political ally north of the border.
Not a single mention about the threats of economic strangulation and annexation.
Dear American cousins, tarrifs, while backstabbing the best ally anyone has ever had, are your perogative. Your country, your borders, your rules. Sure we will stand up for ourselves and counter tarrif, but that is just business.
Threatening annexation is what has caused for many a lifelong change. The interviewee who said that “even if everything returned to normal tomorrow, it would take a year to recover” missed the point badly. Canadians are a friendly bunch, but once burned like this will never set foot in you country again for a lifetime and will make the consumer boycot for life. I am one of them.
Even if trump is gone, the dems sweep and get universal healthcare, and become a shiny happy prosperous place, I am done with America. I don’t deal with backstabbers. There may be a time when our countries can heal and reconcile. I will be dead before that time comes. This is generational fuckery and America will reap what it sows.
As an American, I’m sorry, but good. Every single country needs to stand up to the idiots that enabled the fascists to take over our country. We need to feel pain before we learn it seems.
Damn. Fucking. Right. Bud.
Perhaps you could set foot in this country again to burn down the White House for old time’s sake?
Not interested. Unless you make us.
I get your sentiment, but aren’t you just being a tad bit melodramatic? Lol.
No. Perfectly and absolutely serious.
Not even close.
Fuck all Americans. You did this, you aren’t stopping this.
Epic level of world harm from a country that expects exception for its internal politics while the world watches its kids die and borders flood with guns while you threaten economically and militarily under the guise of national security and a fucking suitcase worth of fentanyl.
But it’s GREED AND HATE. That’s Americas export, and you aren’t making us buy it you’re trying to fucking force it on other countries. Asking the UK to abandon LGBTQ+ rights over trade? A sovereign fucking free country? FUCK YOU ALL.
Fuck me haha. If the other dude was being melodramatic, you’re down right hyperbolic. Fuck all Americans, really? Not every American did this. Almost half of people who voted did vote against Trump for one. And people have also been protesting and resisting.
More than 2/3rds of Canadians no longer see the US as an ally.
Scott Galloway recently asked Mark Carney (current prime minister of Canada) about this on his podcast.
The simple answer is you don’t get to threaten another country’s sovereignty and expect it not to be taken seriously.
UK person here, and I totally agree with the Canadian above.
America could’ve learned its lessons about tRUMP well before he was voted in in 2016, all they had to do was open their eyes, not be fucking idiots, and do a tiny bit of research about his bullshit (criminal, and otherwise) that he’s been pulling for literally, not figuratively, literally decades and decades. No, that was asking too much of them apparently. So instead they voted him in.
Then they could’ve learned their lesson during his first term and locked him up for all his criminal and traitorous bullshit that he pulled. No, instead they dragged their feet over that shit AND THEN voted him in for a second term.
The USA, just like Germany had to do with shitler, needs to learn the hard way. And for decades to come. The American people obviously don’t learn when others are showing them nicely just how blatantly stupid they are being.
And the only way for them to learn is by ostracising and boycotting their products and country for decades to come.
No. I assume you’re American?
