The Trump administration accused Canada of discriminatory barriers and unfair treatment concerning American autos, dairy, and alcohol. Specific complaints included Canada's tariff rate quota system disadvantaging U.S. cheese exporters and provincial decisions to remove American liquors from stores.
“The White House specifically accused Canada of unfair treatment of American alcohol, dairy products, and motor vehicles.”
“In the dairy section, Washington argued Canada's tariff rate quota system disadvantaged US cheese exporters.”
“In alcohol, the administration objected to decisions by Canadian provinces to pull American liquors from government controlled stores during the earlier tariff confrontation.”
