The Alberta government is selling off U.S. liquor from its warehouses, about two weeks after ordering the provincial agency in charge of regulating alcohol to stop importing U.S. products in response to tariffs.

The government initially directed Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis (ALGC) to cease the sale of U.S. alcohol on March 5, one day after U.S. President Donald Trump imposed 25 percent tariffs on Canadian products.
