America's Canadian import restrictions come into force. Here are the products barred from entry - cnbc.com
The Trump administration has implemented new import restrictions on various Canadian goods, including vehicles, dairy, and alcohol. Despite ongoing trade tensions, officials suggest that negotiations for a new deal are moving slowly.
Why it matters
These tariffs and import bans represent a significant shift in North American trade relations, impacting billions of dollars in cross-border commerce.
The White House banned imports of some Canadian vehicles, dairy and alcohol products on Tuesday, as officials sent mixed signals on the prospect of a trade deal.
The long list of impacted goods includes motorcycles and mopeds with petrol engines larger than 800cc, whey products and molasses , and a slew of alcoholic beverages — mainly those packaged for direct consumption — from beer and cider to wine, whiskey and vodka.
The products are estimated to total around $19.9 billion of Canadian imports by the American Action Forum .
The import ban, announced earlier this month by the Trump administration, is the latest step in a war of words — and tit-for-tat tariffs — between the U.S. and Canada.
President Donald Trump said on Monday he expected a "fair deal" with Canada within the coming weeks, but continued to strike a combative tone.
