United States bans Canadian alcohol, dairy and motorcycles in trade dispute

The United States has banned imports of Canadian alcohol, dairy products, and motorcycles from September 29, 2025. The ban is part of a growing trade dispute between the two countries.

Canadian beer, wine, whisky, and other spirits are affected. So are whey protein and around 5,000 motorcycles per year. The alcohol ban alone covers nearly C$1 billion in goods.

The US already charges high tariffs on other Canadian products, including steel and cars. Canada has responded by putting tariffs of 15% to 50% on more than 700 American products. Most Canadian provinces have also stopped selling US alcohol.
