In a series of executive orders on Tuesday, President Donald Trump said Canada was "discriminating" against the US and outlined the bans, which will begin on 29 September.

Officials on both sides have said they would like to strike a trade deal, but no new talks have been scheduled since negotiations collapsed in late August.

Dominic LeBlanc, Canada's trade minister, said the latest US measures were "unjustified" and that he would work to protect the country's workers, families and businesses.
