The provincial government has called a news conference for this afternoon to provide an update on the $3.2 million dollars worth of American alcohol and liquor products sitting in storage.

The products were yanked from NLC shelves after economic policies imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump sparked a trade war between Canada and our neighbours to the south.

Some provinces have since relented and are selling products once again, while others, like Nova Scotia, have decided to return the products to store shelves with the proceeds going to charity.

Finance Minister Craig Pardy will be joined by NLC CEO Bruce Keating for an update today at 1:30 at the Community Food Sharing Association.

VOCM News will be there.
