World Watch

When the world moves, know what reaches your house.

Washington reaches your house through laws. The world reaches it through things, and it arrives two ways: in the prices of what you buy, and the value of what you own. We mapped both, back to the countries and companies they depend on, with the receipts.

U.S. tariff actions · September 7 – September 13 · 3 key changes

Tariff Impact Report: September 7-13, 2026 This week brought no immediate price changes for American consumers, but significant escalation in the U.S.-Canada trade dispute. President Trump signed orders on September 8 to ban imports of certain Canadian dairy products, motor vehicles, and alcoholic beverages starting September 29, 2026. These bans follow earlier 50% tariffs imposed in July and come as Canada implemented its own retaliatory tariffs on September 8. The actions affect billions of dollars in trade but do not directly change prices on store shelves during this reporting period. ## Key Changes Affecting Your Wallet **Canadian Dairy Products** (Effective September 29, 2026) President Trump signed an order to ban imports of certain Canadian dairy products. These products were previously subject to 50% tariffs under July 2026 orders but will now be completely prohibited from entering the United States. What this means: If you buy Canadian cheeses or other dairy products, they will disappear from U.S. stores after September 29. Prices on remaining domestic and non-Canadian imported dairy may rise due to reduced competition, though the full impact depends on how much retailers relied on Canadian suppliers. --- **Canadian Motor Vehicles** (Effective September 29, 2026) The administration will ban imports of certain Canadian motor vehicle products starting September 29. These products faced 50% tariffs since July but will now be completely blocked from importation. What this means: If you're shopping for a vehicle assembled in Canada, your options will become more limited after September 29. Dealerships may face inventory shortages for affected models, and prices on remaining Canadian-built vehicles already in the U.S. could increase as supply tightens. --- **Canadian Alcoholic Beverages** (Effective September 29, 2026) President Trump ordered a ban on certain Canadian alcoholic beverages, moving from the 50% tariffs imposed in July to a complete import prohibition. Saskatchewan also announced an additional 50% levy on U.S. alcoholic beverages effective September 8. What this means: Canadian beers, wines, and spirits will vanish from U.S. liquor stores and bars after September 29. If you have favorite Canadian brands, stock up now or prepare to switch to alternatives. Prices on remaining inventory may spike as supplies run out.

What you own

Every public company has to say what could break it.

Which customers, which countries, which materials, disclosed to the SEC, under oath, in filings almost nobody reads. We read all of them and tied each one to the same map.

The data

When one country makes almost all of it.

We don’t keep a watchlist, we sweep everything and let the data show where a single country makes most of something your everyday goods are built from. Every figure is cited, and it re-ranks as the data changes.

What you’re looking at

World Watch is built from primary sources, U.S. Census trade data, USGS, EIA, the Federal Register tariff record, and every annual report in the Russell 3000, decomposed into the goods, inputs, countries, and companies that connect the world to an American household. Every dependency is dated and cited to its source. We report easing with the same care as disruption.
