  "account": "U.S. officials have authorized the resumption of liquor deliveries to Campobello Island, a remote New Brunswick island. The deliveries had been halted last Tuesday due to a U.S. ban on Canadian liquor imports as part of the ongoing trade dispute with U.S. President Donald Trump. Campobello Island's sole land link to Canada is via a bridge leading to Maine, followed by an 80-kilometre journey through the U.S. state of Maine to the border crossing at St. Stephen, New Brunswick. Initially, the provincial liquor agency, NB Liquor, explored alternative delivery methods but deemed them unnecessary. As of Monday, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection had not confirmed any changes to the border situation. The truck that was initially stopped at the border did make it to the island via a private ferry, though this service is set to conclude for the season later this month.",
  "summary": "New Brunswick’s provincial liquor agency says it has resumed deliveries to an isolated island where the only land route is through Maine.",
