Chart contrasting a 50 per cent Section 338 duty with the single cheese quota eligibility rule that forms the entire finding.

The dairy dispute comes down to who is allowed to hold a cheese licence

by Editor | Aug 7, 2026 | Sanctions and Export Controls

The proclamation that names dairy runs to nine numbered findings and does not mention supply management once. What it objects to is a single eligibility rule deciding which Canadian businesses may use a cheese quota.

An order in January, a blackout in August, 96,000 surgeries waiting

by Editor | Aug 7, 2026 | Sanctions and Export Controls

On 29 January 2026 the United States signed an order making the supply of oil to Cuba cost a third country its access to the American market. Six months later the island’s hospitals are postponing operations and the United Nations calls it energy starvation.

Cover graphic reading two records changed and no reasons given, on the Fly Baghdad delisting of 5 August 2026.

by Editor | Aug 6, 2026 | Energy and Chokepoints, Sanctions and Export Controls

The trade agreement widely believed to have expired on 1 July is still in force, with another decade to run. Canadian negotiators have been in Washington twice in two weeks.

Cover graphic reading 84 names removed and 22 entries amended, from US Treasury OFAC releases in July 2026.

Treasury took 84 names off the sanctions list in one week, and added more in the four days around it

by Editor | Aug 5, 2026 | Sanctions and Export Controls

The removals are counted exactly. The additions cannot be totalled from the same documents without guessing. Anyone who nets the two figures against each other is publishing a number that does not exist, and the reason is in Treasury’s own text.
