US Ban on Canadian Goods Escalates North American Trade Confrontation

The United States is stopping some Canadian products from entering the country.

The ban begins on September 29.

It covers many alcoholic drinks, some dairy products, and certain motorcycles.

Some types of molasses are also included.

The United States says Canada treats some American businesses unfairly.

Canada had placed taxes on American goods after the United States imposed its own tariffs.

This has created a trade fight between the two countries.

Canadian officials say they are still talking with American officials.

The two sides did not appear likely to reach an agreement before the ban began.
