Canada removed seafood and fish products from its list of retaliatory tariffs on U.S. imports, a day after unveiling counter-tariffs on about $20 billion worth of American goods. The government says the change follows industry feedback, and the remaining tariffs still take effect on September 8.
Canada dropped seafood and fish products from a package of counter-tariffs on U.S. imports on Wednesday, adjusting a list it had announced just a day earlier covering roughly $20 billion worth of American products.
According to Canada's Department of Finance: "Based on feedback, we have made select adjustments to protect against economic harms", including removing seafood and fish products from the counter-tariff list, the department said in a post on X.
The adjustment follows Canada's move to match Washington's latest tariffs dollar for dollar after the United States imposed new 50% tariffs on Canadian imports on Saturday. Ottawa's counter-tariffs are still set to take effect on September 8.
The Department of Finance said it is continuing to work with Canadian industries to assess the effectiveness of the tariffs, with a primary focus on sectors that have been targeted by U.S. tariffs.
