What happened, for context

On September 8, 2026, US President Donald Trump announced import bans and tariffs on Canadian goods, including alcohol, dairy products, and motorcycles, effective September 29 and September 15 respectively. The measures came in response to Canadian retaliatory tariffs on C$27.6 billion (US$20 billion) of US imports that took effect the same day, which themselves followed 50% US tariffs imposed on Canadian goods in August after trade negotiations collapsed.
