On Tuesday, September 8, 2026, in the evening, Donald Trump signed decrees banning the importation of most alcoholic beverages, dairy products, and Canadian motorcycles effective September 29, and a 50% surtax on other products (mattresses, boats, furniture, cheeses, aluminum) effective September 15. He also requested the exclusion of Canadian products from US federal framework contracts. These measures are in response to the retaliatory customs duties imposed by Canada earlier in the week on approximately $20 billion worth of American goods, in response to the 50% surtaxes decreed by Washington on August 22. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney responded with a video stating that the country has "everything it needs to pivot and thrive".
His approval rating jumped 11 points to 62%, according to an Angus Reid poll released on Tuesday.
Only 20 % of Americans approve of Trump's tariffs on Canada, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll.
The firm forecasts a drop of around 0.3 % in Canadian output compared to baseline forecasts.
The Canadian provincial boycotts have already erased around 360 millions of dollars in revenue, according to the Wine Institute.
