British Columbia Premier David Eby was quick to retaliate to “crushing” 25 percent tariffs announced by the U.S. on Saturday, including targeting U.S. liquor.

Eby called the tariffs implemented by U.S. President Donald Trump “a complete betrayal” of the historic bond between Canada and the U.S. on Saturday.
