Canada-US Trade Dispute Deepens
Published Friday, September 11, 2026
Canada imposed retaliatory tariffs on Sept. 8 on roughly $20 billion of U.S. goods, including a range of agricultural and manufactured products, following the U.S. decision to impose 50% tariffs on Canadian goods in several sectors. In response, the Trump administration announced plans to ban imports of certain Canadian products, including alcoholic beverages, whey and dairy products, and other commodities. The escalation follows a breakdown in negotiations between the countries over the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement and other trade challenges, with both sides seemingly growing further apart as the row deepens.
