US-Canada Trade War Escalates as New Import Restrictions Take Effect
The United States has announced fresh restrictions and higher tariffs on several Canadian products after Canada imposed retaliatory duties on American goods, deepening tensions between the two major trading partners.
US President Donald Trump has ordered new import restrictions on Canadian products, including alcoholic beverages, dairy goods, non-alcoholic beer and motorcycles, effective September 29. The move follows Canada’s retaliatory tariffs on US steel, textiles and furniture after Washington imposed higher duties on Canadian imports. The escalating trade dispute is now adding pressure on businesses and further straining economic and diplomatic ties between the two countries.
