Liberal leadership hopeful Chrystia Freeland says Canada should target Teslas and U.S. alcohol as part of its tariff retaliation package should U.S. President Donald Trump made good on his trade threats.

In an interview with The Canadian Press, Freeland says there should be a 100 percent tariff on all U.S. wine, beer and spirits, and on all Teslas—and make sure Wisconsin dairy farmers feel the pinch as well.
