State of the Union: The moves follow new Canadian tariffs on U.S. goods. The post U.S. Restricts Canadian Alcohol, Dairy, and Motorcycles as Trade War Escalates appeared first on The American Conservative .
On Tuesday, President Trump announced that the United States would bar the importation of some alcohol, dairy products, and motorcycles from Canada.

Trump is reaching for a more drastic trade war weapon, with new threats to shut foreign goods out of the U.S. altogether. Why it matters: It would mark a significant evolution of the administration's trade agenda, with potentially bigger economic fallout than the tariffs that have defined it so far. - Trump may also have firmer legal footing for some import bans than emergency tariffs. Federal trade laws explicitly give presidents the power to prohibit imports under certain conditions, even where courts have rejected their authority to impose tariffs. - Businesses can absorb the cost of a tariff, pass it on to customers, or some combination of both. But losing access to a key part or product altogether can result in shortages, stalled…

(Steve Liss/Getty Images) This side of the border, French Canadians don’t tend to make political waves. Despite a sizable population in northern New England, they have collectively only once played a significant role in American politics. This was in February 1972, when the so-called “Canuck Letter” helped scuttle Ed Muskie’s shot at the Democratic nomination for president. (The letter, now widely believed to be the work of Nixon staffers, alleged that Muskie had drawn…Open

What they're saying: "The United States is giving serious consideration to changing the name of Lake Ontario to Lake America in that we don't expect to be doing much business with Ontario any longer." Trump wrote on Truth Social. - Lake Ontario stretches across the U.S.-Canada border, with approximately 47% of the lake belonging to the U.S. - The president then posted …
America's path to lower inflation depends in part on trade wars and actual wars becoming less economically disruptive. In recent days, both have taken turns that threaten the opposite. Why it matters: A period of relative calm on those fronts is now giving way to renewed tensions, with Canada, China and Iran all posing fresh economic risks. What's going on: The U.S.-Canada trade fight is shaping up to become an all-out trade war, threatening economic and political fallout on both sides of the border. Neither side is backing down, with Canada expected to target politically sensitive U.S. sectors with tariffs in the run-up to the midterms. - The Trump administration reportedly plans to impose an additional 7.5% tariff on Chinese goods in…
