Trump expands Canada tariffs: new bans on autos, dairy and alcohol

President Trump escalated the US‑Canada trade dispute by signing measures to block imports of certain Canadian autos, dairy products and alcohol in response to Canadian tariffs; the bans are set to take effect in about three weeks (Sept. 29) and come after a broader reshuffling of duties (including cement, road salt and hospital pads) with new duties on all-terrain vehicles, certain cheeses and motorboats, while a 50% tariff on cars and trucks remains on the table as talks have stalled and Canada has retaliated.
