What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Harvey Newman, who operates Island Trucking, delivered essential goods to Campobello Island on October 19, 2026. However, a previous shipment on September 29, 2026, was delayed at the U.S. border in Calais. This delay occurred after the Trump administration’s trade war policy with Canada took effect, catching Newman in the crossfire while transporting Canadian alcoholic beverages.
