On July 1st, Trump's trade team refused to extend USMCA and presented a list of ransom demands — dairy markets, Buy Canadian rollback, China alignment, retaliatory tariff removal — as the price Canada must pay to keep a deal that was always going to stay in force anyway. The result? $12 billion in investment capital immediately sidelined, according to financial analysts at Canada Life, RBC Economics, and Oxford Economics. But Canada's retaliation had already done its work: 78% collapse in US wine exports to Canada, 85% drop in bourbon exports, Jim Beam suspending Kentucky production, 25% decline in Canadian travel to the US.
