Canada will remove retaliatory tariffs on a broad list of United States products that meet rules-of-origin requirements under the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement, according to government sources cited by Bloomberg on 22 August. The duties—set at 25 per cent during the bilateral trade dispute—covered consumer goods ranging from textiles to household appliances. Tariffs on U.S. automobiles, steel and aluminum will stay in force, maintaining protection for sectors Ottawa considers strategically sensitive. Exemptions for the remaining products are to be phased in as soon as the order is published in the Canada Gazette, officials said. Prime Minister Mark Carney is expected to outline the policy change after a cabinet meeting later today. Ottawa describes the move as a goodwill gesture aimed at lowering tensions with the White House and facilitating negotiations on outstanding trade issues while preserving leverage in key industrial areas.
