The United States rebuked close ally Canada for inadequate enforcement of drug regulations that it said had led to an "alarming increase" in the cross-border export of illegal narcotics.

However, Washington stopped short of imposing sanctions on Ottawa for the shortcomings.

US President George W. Bush, announcing his determinations on sanctions for countries deemed not to be cooperating in the war on drugs, cited Canada as "a primary" source for some narcotics entering the United States.

And he rapped Canadian authorities for not doing enough to control to sale of chemicals that can be used to produce synthetic drugs.

"Although the United States enjoys an excellent level of bilateral cooperation with Canada, the United States government is concerned that Canada is a primary source of pseudoephedrine and an increasing source of high potency marijuana, which are exported to the United States," Bush said.

"Over the past few years there has been an alarming increase in the amount of pseudoephedrine diverted from Canadian sources to clandestine drug laboratories in the United States, where it is used to make methamphetamine," he said.
