Quebec’s maple syrup producers say they are worried their industry will take a big hit if U.S. President Donald Trump goes ahead with his threat to slap 25 percent tariffs on Canadian exports on Feb. 1.
Joël Vaudeville, spokesman for Quebec Maple Syrup Producers, said the group’s 13,500 members and the province’s maple syrup processors fear sales will drop if the tariffs drive up the price of their products in the United States.
