Canada Excludes US Seafood From Retaliatory Tariffs
Finance Canada said the changes were based on industry feedback to limit broader economic harm as Ottawa keeps most retaliatory tariffs in place.
- Finance Canada removed seafood and fish products from its counter-tariff list on Aug 27, citing feedback to protect against economic harms amid escalating trade tensions with the United States.
- Ottawa's adjustment follows a retaliatory move to match dollar-for-dollar the 50% tariffs President Donald Trump imposed on Canadian imports on Aug 22, escalating the trade dispute between the nations.
- Planned counter-tariffs on about $20 billion in American goods remain scheduled to take effect on Sept 8, encompassing levies on hundreds of U.S. exports including steel, aluminum, and apparel.
- Canada's Department stated it is "continually working with Canadian industries to assess the effectiveness of these measures," with primary focus on sectors targeted by new United States duties.
- United States Trade Representative Jamieson Greer warned the Trump administration will not ignore further Canadian retaliation, signaling potential for escalation in the ongoing trade dispute.
