US bans Canadian dairy and alcohol imports; Ottawa retaliates with tariffs

The United States has significantly escalated its trade dispute with Canada by issuing a proclamation to exclude certain Canadian products from importation, citing continued discrimination against US dairy commerce. This action, confirmed by multiple sources, includes import bans on Canadian dairy, motorcycles, and beverages (beer, wine, whisky), with tariffs also imposed on mattresses and boats. Canada has retaliated with tariffs on US goods, affecting steel and electronics sectors, marking a further deterioration in bilateral trade relations.
