The United States has officially implemented a ban on Canadian goods starting at 12:01 a.m. ET on Tuesday, adding to the ongoing trade tensions between the two nations.
Although the impact of these trade restrictions on Canadian economic growth is expected to be minimal in the short term, they represent the latest strain in the relationship between Ottawa and the Trump administration.
President Trump, commenting on the ban on Monday, reiterated his belief that Canada has been treating the United States unfairly, but expressed optimism about reaching a trade agreement in the coming weeks.
The ban covers a range of Canadian products, including alcohol, whey protein, whey products, molasses, and motorcycles.
