A United States-Canada intelligence brief was released on Sunday, September 13, 2026, detailing recent developments in the escalating trade conflict between the two nations. According to Reuters, Canada's "buy-Canadian" boycott is causing significant changes in supermarkets, with grocers rebranding and reallocating their supply chains to avoid American goods.
The US government has announced plans to ban Canadian dairy, most alcoholic beverages, and motorcycles beginning September 29. A separate 50% tariff on various goods, including mattresses, motorboats, and golf carts, will take effect on September 15. In retaliation, Canada has implemented a multi-billion-dollar package of counter-tariffs at varying rates, with Prime Minister Carney stating that Canada will accelerate efforts to reduce its economic dependence on the United States.
American consumer prices increased by 3.4% in August, maintaining the same rate as in July. The complete story can be found in the Rio Times.
