Back in March, the media was all upset because the Orange Man was killing the Kentucky whiskey business.
The Lexington Herald-Leader reported, “Trump’s trade war cripples Kentucky bourbon. American whiskey exports down $250 million.”
Sales to Canada fell by about $160 million.
Many are starting to realize there’s something else afoot with this guy.
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney left the United Nations General Assembly and went directly to the New York Times for a pre-scheduled interview with fellow leftist travelers’ intent on influencing the U.S midterm election.

One of U.S. President Donald Trump’s trade advisers is threatening repercussions for Canada if it “interferes” in the upcoming midterm elections — though it’s not clear what he anticipates the country would do to impact the vote.
Peter Navarro, who has lashed out at Canada in the past, made these latest remarks during a talk at an economic conference in Washington on Tuesday.
Navarro was speaking generally about the Trump administration’s trade policy when the conversation turned to the ongoing dispute with Canada. He blasted Canadians on “K Street” — an area in Washington known as a hub for lobbyists — telling them to “get the hell out of our country.”
The world gets it now: tariffs bring countries to the table.
Everyone lined up to negotiate. Canada? They showed up with lobbyists.

OTTAWA — Prime Minister Mark Carney delivered a terse rebuke Tuesday to steelmaker Stelco and its parent company for breaching “legal obligations” to maintain jobs in Canada, saying Ottawa will pursue legal action against the company if it fails to meet those obligations.
The day after Stelco Holdings announced it would lay off up to 500 workers at its Hamilton and Lake Erie facilities, citing the import pressures of the tariff dispute and weak demand, the prime minister laid the blame squarely at the feet of the Trump administration and its corporate allies.
NEW – This Hamilton Steel mill layoff in Canada is a HUGE story —
The owner, Cleveland-Cliffs REFUSED emergency cash (undisclosed amount) from Mark Carney and violated an agreement they signed to not lay any workers off.

How many deals have collapsed under Carney?
Distiller James Lester has grown used to the on-again, off-again chaos of the trade war, but he’s now grappling with a new kind of treatment — being shut out of the U.S. market altogether.
“It’s a little sad, to be honest,” said Lester, founder and operator of B.C.-based distillery Sons of Vancouver.
As of Tuesday at 12:01 a.m. ET, U.S. bans are in effect on some Canadian alcohol products, dairy byproducts, motorcycles and molasses, shutting certain producers out of the U.S. market entirely.
Before President Trump returned to office, unleashing a trade war featuring special animus toward Canada, Michael Goldstein saw his Vancouver start-up as complementary to American interests.
His company, Accelovant, makes temperature sensors used to produce computer chips — the brains of modern manufacturing. Canada and the United States shared an interest in limiting their dependence on chip factories in Asia. He was supplying critical components, many of which were being made in the United States.
On Tuesday, a new round of U.S. tariffs and product bans will hit Canadian exports, putting thousands of jobs at risk across the country.
Facing new 50% tariffs are goods such as specialty cheeses, furniture and mattresses. Facing bans are alcohol, motorcycles and whey products. Even before these new measures, the impact of the tariffs imposed by Washington was being felt.
OTTAWA — US President Donald Trump is directly linking his tariffs to a promise to give American adults $5,000 if Republicans retain control of Congress in November.
“Because of tariffs, we are taking in hundreds of billions of dollars of profits,” Trump said in video remarks. “It’s one of the reasons I can offer, if Republicans win the House and Senate, $5,000 to every adult.”
WASHINGTON — With just hours to go before import bans on certain Canadian goods were set to take effect, U.S. President Donald Trump said Monday he thinks he can make a trade deal with Canada in the coming weeks.
Speaking to reporters in the Oval Office, Trump said he thinks the Canadian side will contact him in the next three or four weeks and the United States will “win everything.”
"They're going to come in and they're going to say, 'Sir, we are sorry.'"

OTTAWA — Americans looking to tool around town on a brand new Can-Am Spyder will soon be out of luck.
The distinct Bombardier-built three-wheeled motorcycle, manufactured in rural Quebec, will be among the Canadian products banned by President Donald Trump White House on Tuesday — joining Canadian cheese, alcohol and agricultural products as the latest targets of the United States trade war against Canada.
Stelco Holdings Inc. said on Monday that it plans to idle part of its Hamilton plant in order to “ensure the survival” of the company, as U.S. tariffs squeeze its sales.
Stelco said the decision will impact up to 500 employees.
In a memo obtained by CBC News on Monday, the company said it will indefinitely idle its cold-rolled and coated operations at its Hamilton Works plant, with operations set to begin winding down on Oct. 9.
The United States and China released Monday reciprocal lists of products worth about US$30 billion each that will see tariff cuts, from American hair products to Chinese toys, in a deal expected to boost bilateral trade.
The details came days after Chinese President Xi Jinping met with U.S. President Donald Trump in Washington in his first state visit to the U.S. since 2015. The U.S. had already reduced tariffs against China after Trump’s tariffs reached as high as 145 per cent at one point last year, as tensions between the two countries eased.

President Donald Trump’s ban on Canadian alcoholic beverages is set to take effect on Sept. 29. It covers a broad range of beer, wine and spirits. For Canadian producers, this is no small matter: in the 2024–25 fiscal year, we exported $1.4 billion in alcoholic beverages to the United States. That is a lot of business to put at risk.
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Prime Minister Mark Carney has explained his push for a closer relationship with Europe in simple terms.
“Developing an alliance for the future with the European Union … is based on Canada becoming more sovereign,” he said last week at a press conference on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly.
