Alberta Resumes Buying U.S. Liquor and Gambling Machines

Alberta is buying American alcohol and gambling machines again, three months after restrictions were announced to combat U-S tariffs.

Service Alberta Minister Dale Nally says the province's decision signals ``sets the stage for more constructive negotiations'' ahead of the renewal of the Canada-United States-Mexico trade agreement.

After U-S President Donald Trump placed heavy tariffs on Canadian goods and energy, the Alberta government responded in March by saying it would no longer buy American alcohol, gambling machines, or sign contracts with U-S companies.

Other premiers at the time announced similar penalties on U-S liquor.
