US drinks producers hold breath as Canada tariff deal nears

US President Trump has paused a planned 50% tariff on Canadian goods for three days while the two governments negotiate a deal. The tariff threat directly affects drinks producers on both sides of the border, including wine traders and distributors who rely on US-Canada trade flows. A deal could be imminent, but if tariffs do take effect, they'd significantly reshape pricing and trade dynamics in the North American wine market.
