A U.S. ban on nearly $1 billion worth of Canadian imports took effect Tuesday, blocking shipments of alcoholic beverages, some dairy products and motorcycles as the trade dispute between Washington and Ottawa enters a new phase.
The restrictions took effect at 12:01 a.m. Eastern time and cover about $967 million in annual Canadian imports based on 2025 figures, according to Jacob Jensen, director of trade policy at the American Action Forum. About 87% of the affected imports are alcoholic beverages, CBS News reported.
