Speaking at an unrelated event in Winnipeg, Kinew said he wants to see the Trump administration back down from trying to attack Canada’s economy.

The U.S. has proposed a 10 per cent additional tariff on Canada and other countries after an investigation into forced labour in supply chains.


The new tariff would not apply to goods compliant under the Canada-U.S.-Mexico-Agreement on trade.

Kinew said that Canada has to stick up for itself when being attacked.

“We don’t want to see any tariffs, and that’s why we’ve banned American booze from being sold in Manitoba,” he said Wednesday.
