Font size

The US is banning Canadian products, including alcohol, dairy, and motor vehicles, as Canadian retaliatory tariffs on American goods come into force.

In a series of executive orders on Tuesday, US President Donald Trump wrote that "Canada is discriminating in fact against the commerce of the United States," and ordered the ban, which comes into effect on 29 September.

Earlier on Tuesday, Canada Prime Minister Mark Carney said in a video address that Canada's pivot away from the US as its largest trading partner "will come at a cost".

Both US and Canadian officials have said they would like to strike a deal, but no new talks have been scheduled since negotiations collapsed in late August.

UK government pauses local government reorganisation plans after legal advice

The UK government has paused plans to reorganise local government in England after receiving new legal advice suggesting the proposals may not comply with the law. Reorganisation plans for Essex, Hampshire, Norfolk and Suffolk have been withdrawn, while decisions on 14 other areas are under review. Local elections in May 2027 will proceed on existing boundaries. The government says it remains committed to devolving power and ensuring any reorganisation is robust and legally compliant.
