US President Trump threatened to stop the sale of Canadian-made Bombardier jets in the United States as trade tensions between Washington and Ottawa continued to escalate, with Canada's retaliatory tariffs on $20bn of US goods taking effect. The dispute has widened further as the United States imposed an import ban on Canadian alcohol and other goods, marking the latest escalation in the trade war.

The rapidly expanding list of targeted goods, from aircraft to alcohol, underscores how the standoff between the two neighbors continues to intensify without signs of near-term resolution.
