Canada revises tariff response after industry feedback

ctvnews.ca

Canada adjusted its planned retaliatory tariffs on U.S. goods after receiving feedback from domestic industries, according to a late Wednesday statement from Finance Canada. The move follows U.S. President Donald Trump's latest duties, which Canadian businesses are currently enduring. The revised list removes seafood and fish products to prevent broader economic harm, though no further details were released. Canada’s response, announced Tuesday, includes raising tariffs on U.S. steel and aluminum from 25 to 50 percent and imposing 15 to 50 percent duties on other U.S. exports like clothing, appliances, and dairy. U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer has repeatedly warned that the Trump administration will not tolerate further Canadian retaliation. The adjustment comes as counter-tariffs await implementation, with The Canadian Press reporting the story Aug. 27, 2026.
