The U.S. will ban the sale of Canadian dairy products, motor vehicles, and many alcoholic beverages, effective September 29, according to President Trump who announced the new tariffs on some Canadian goods. The White House stated that the bans were in response to continued discrimination against U.S. commerce regarding dairy, alcohol, and motor vehicles. Canada has imposed retaliatory tariffs of up to 50% on about $20 billion of U.S. goods.
