Canada on Sunday imposed retaliatory tariffs on $12.5 billion worth of U.S. exports, the latest in a series of escalating trade conflicts between the Trump administration and top U.S. allies.

The new duties come after the Trump administration ended Canada's exemption from the U.S. tariffs on steel and aluminum imports. The European Union recently imposed its own retaliatory tariffs, targeting specific products like bourbon to put political pressure on GOP leaders. Kentucky, represented in the Senate by Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, the top producer of bourbon.

Bourbon? Big effing deal. We have a booze shortage as it is because of hipsters. These distillers don't need to send the shit over the border to stay solvent.
