The United States has banned nearly $1 billion worth of Canadian imports including alcoholic beverages, dairy products and motorcycles.

The United States has imposed a ban on nearly $1 billion worth of Canadian imports, including alcoholic beverages, dairy products and motorcycles, which came into effect early on Tuesday. The ban represents the latest escalation in the trade dispute between the two countries after negotiations collapsed in late August. President Donald Trump stated he expects Canada to concede to US demands in coming weeks, but Canadian officials have insisted they will not sign a bad deal. The ban amounts to a small fraction of the $880 billion in annual two-way trade between the countries. Al Jazeera reports the ban came in retaliation for Canada's counter-tariffs on $20 billion worth of US imports.
