POLICY WIRE — Washington, D.C. — President Donald Trump has announced a series of trade measures targeting Canadian goods, including a ban on alcohol imports, as part of an intensifying dispute between the U.S. and Canada.

The move comes in response to Ottawa’s recent imposition of a 50% tariff on American goods such as clothing, cheese, and metals. The White House confirmed that the restrictions will take effect later this month, with the prohibition on Canadian alcoholic beverages set to begin on September 29.
