The United States has imposed a ban on the import of several Canadian goods

The United States has banned the supply of Canadian motorcycles and other products to its market. CNBC reported this.

The corresponding decree was signed by the head of the White House, Donald Trump. In addition, restrictions will affect products made from whey and molasses, non-alcoholic beer, as well as wine, cider, whiskey, vodka and other spirits.

U.S. Trade Representative Jamison Greer said the moves are a natural consequence of Canada's ongoing discriminatory treatment of critical American exports. Trump himself has previously said that Ottawa is hurting American exports with its policies in the auto, alcohol and dairy industries.

In turn, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said that a small trade deficit exists only because the United States purchases a lot of energy resources from his country, and noted that Canada is the largest consumer of American cars and steel. He said Canada's tariffs on American imports "will come at a cost" but are necessary to protect businesses, workers and the public.
