Canada Lifts Retaliatory Tariffs on U.S. Goods, Trump Says

President Donald Trump said Canada is removing the retaliatory tariffs it had imposed on U.S. goods, describing the decision as “nice” and a step toward improving bilateral ties. Trump told reporters he held a “good” phone conversation with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney on Thursday and plans another call soon. The tariffs were introduced by Ottawa in response to earlier U.S. trade measures. Their removal would ease friction between the two countries just months after Washington’s 145% tariff on Chinese goods took effect. Trump added that the United States “wants to be good to Canada,” signaling openness to further cooperation on trade.
