US-Canada Trade War Deepens With New Import Restrictions

President Donald Trump has ordered new restrictions on several Canadian products, escalating a months-long trade dispute with Ottawa. According to the report, the measures will take effect September 29 and include bans on certain dairy products, alcoholic beverages and motorbikes.

The White House accused Canada of unfairly restricting American goods while allowing similar products from other countries. The new measures also raise tariffs on products including cheese, metals, paper, furniture, motorboats and golf carts.

The report said Canadian exports of spirits, dairy products and motorbikes to the U.S. totaled more than $1 billion in 2025. Economists warned the broader trade conflict could hurt businesses and consumers on both sides of the border, despite the latest bans covering a relatively small share of Canadian exports.
