The United States has brought into effect a ban on alcohol and dairy products from Canada, marking the latest escalation in an ongoing trade dispute between the two countries.
The measures take effect after negotiations between the US and Canada collapsed in late August. No details have been provided about the specific products affected or the wider scope of the restrictions.
The dispute continues without a confirmed timetable for renewed discussions. There has been no word on when talks might resume, leaving the latest measures in place as the trade conflict drags on.
The ban represents a further deterioration in commercial relations between the neighbouring countries, with no immediate indication of a resolution to the dispute.
