With US-Canada trade talks still on hold, American officials have laid out their clearest demands yet for keeping free trade in place between the two countries.
The list includes further opening the Canadian dairy market to US farmers, and overhauling an online streaming law that the US says "discriminates" against American tech and media firms.
The US also wants Canadian provinces to lift their ban on selling American liquor, which was put in place earlier this year in response to the sweeping tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump.
These demands and more were outlined by US trade representative Jamieson Greer before a Congressional committee on Wednesday, as part of a broader review of a North American free trade pact - known as the USMCA - that is now under way.
Both Canada and Mexico want it extended, although Trump has mused about leaving the agreement. Greer told Congress that the USMCA has been "successful to a certain degree" but changes must be made for it to continue.
