The trade war between the U.S. and Canada escalated once again as the U.S. announced upcoming import bans on most alcoholic beverages from Canada, along with other products including whey, molasses and motorcycles. About $20 billion in Canadian products were already subject to 50% tariffs. The products targeted by the import bans set to be implemented on Sept. 29 were among those already tariffed. Exporting products to the U.S. with a 50% levy would have been difficult for Canadian businesses. But the import bans are designed to increase the pain even more.
The White House says the United States is banning dairy products, most alcoholic beverages and some motorcycles from Canada, as the trade war between the two nations escalates. The ban will take effect in three weeks, on Sept. 29, and comes after retaliatory tariffs promised by Canada took effect earlier Tuesday on $20 billion in U.S. imports. A senior official in the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump said Trump signed paperwork Tuesday outlining his justification for the ban. The documents were posted on the White House's website.

An acrimonious trade war between the United States and Canada is threatening to reinforce the resolve of Canadians who stopped visiting the U.S. last year. The number of Canadians traveling to the U.S. plunged after President Donald Trump returned to office with remarks about making Canada the 51st state. Tentative signs the informal travel boycott might be easing emerged this summer. But relations between the U.S. and Canadian governments have deteriorated sharply in recent weeks. The rift hasn't stopped state and local tourism officials and travel-related businesses from trying to win Canadian visitors back. Some Canadians say no special offers or advertising campaigns will work until someone else occupies the White House.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says he’s urging his G20 counterparts to take a page from the Trump administration’s playbook of using tariffs to crack down on trade imbalances. Speaking at the G20 finance minister meetings, Bessent highlighted China's record-high trade surplus and excessive regulation as barriers to global growth. He emphasized the need for countries to protect their manufacturing industries. Despite concerns about U.S. debt reaching $40 trillion, Bessent downplayed fears about bond markets. During discussions, he noted areas of agreement with China, particularly on issues like Iran.
