  • Global tariffs and Canada's response to President Trump's wide ranging tariffs is hitting the American wine industry hard. Co-owner of GooseCross Christi Coors Ficeli joins Alex Witt to share her perspective on the struggles wineries are facing.

Canadians are boycotting U.S. wine in response to ongoing trade disputes, particularly after the U.S. imposed a 10% tariff on Canadian aluminum in 2020, prompting Canada to retaliate with tariffs on various U.S. products, including wine. This boycott, supported by Canadian wine producers and some consumers, aims to pressure the U.S. to lift the tariffs, which have significantly impacted Canadian aluminum exports and strained bilateral trade relations. The situation has led to a decrease in U.S. wine sales in Canada, with some Canadian wine regions experiencing a surge in demand as consumers turn to domestic alternatives. The boycott reflects broader tensions between the two countries, exacerbated by trade policies and the need for a resolution to restore normal trade flows.
