# Die VSA het Kanadese invoere ter waarde van bykans 16,4-miljard-rand, insluitend alkoholiese drank, suiwelprodukte en motorfietse, verbied. Dit dien as vergelding vir Kanada se instelling van tariewe op ‘n reeks Amerikaanse goedere vroeër vandeesmaand, ná ‘n mislukking in handelsamesprekings. Ongeveer 93-persent van alle Kanadese drankuitvoere in 2025 was na die VSA. President Donald Trump […]
