US flags India's 150% alcohol tariff, 100% levy on agriculture products

Karoline Leavittpress Secretary

I have a handy dandy chart here that shows not just Canada but the rate of tariffs across the board. If you look at Canada, since you brought it up, American cheese and butter have a nearly 300 per cent tariff. You look at India, 150 per cent tariff on American alcohol. Do you think that's helping Kentucky bourbon be exported into India? I don't think so. 100 per cent tariff on agricultural products from India,

Leavitt said

With these tariffs, the U.S. administration is needlessly disrupting an incredibly successful trading partnership. It is a completely unwarranted and unjustified move that will raise costs for Americans and Canadians alike. While we actively work to remove these tariffs, our government will use every tool at its disposal to defend Canadian jobs and support our businesses and workers during these challenging times,

LeBlanc said in a statement following his announcement

Keir Starmerprime Minister

Like everybody else, I'm disappointed to see global tariffs in relation to steel and aluminum but we will take a pragmatic approach,

said UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer

We're going to win that financial battle."

Repeating his threat to hit European cars with tariffs, he added later

Whatever they charge us with, we're charging them,

he said

Tariffs are taxes. They are bad for business and worse for consumers,

she said, warning the economic disruption put jobs at stake and would send prices higher

They're doing what they should be doing perhaps for the European Union but it does create ill will,

he said

Today, I am announcing that the government of Canada, following a dollar-for-dollar approach, will be imposing, as of 12:01 a.m. tomorrow, March 13, 2025, 25 percent reciprocal tariffs on an additional C$29.8 billion ($20.7 billion) of imports from the United States.

LeBlanc said

The markets are going to learn, let the dealmaker make his deals,

he said ... said in the interview with CBS

The President of the United States in the White House says ... Oh, no, you won't," and breaks him,

Lutnick said

Jared Kushner is a big help to me … he's absolutely helping me,

said Lutnick to System Update reporter Michael Tracey in October

That's why you can never go back into business because it seems like small potatoes, no matter how big it is, including even Cantor Fitzgerald,

Trump joked

The United States of America is going to take back a lot of what was stolen from it by other countries and, frankly, by incompetent U.S. leadership,

he told reporters in the Oval Office

We do have a massive deficit with Ireland because Ireland was very smart. They took our pharmaceutical companies away from presidents that didn't know what they were doing,

Trump said

It doesn’t make sense that our country allows electricity to be made in another country and sold into us,

Trump mused

We had a problem with Ontario and they dropped that,

Trump said

I'm ready to sit down with President Trump at the appropriate time, under a position where there's respect for Canadian sovereignty and we're working for a common approach,

Carney said while touring a steel plant in Ontario

We are in a trade war and when a trade war begins, it tends to sustain itself and feed itself,

Airbus CEO Guillaume Faury said on French television

We will not stand idly by while our iconic steel and aluminum industries are being unfairly targeted,

Canada's Finance Minister Dominic LeBlanc said

We´re going to take back our wealth, and we´re going to take back a lot of the companies that left,

he added
