Trump says a Canada deal is close as tariffs ease on some goods
Maine Republican Sen. Susan Collins says she secured tariff exemptions for products her state's blueberry, potato, apple and seaweed producers rely on. The White House says the changes take effect at the end of the month.
Coming off the 50% list
- Seaweed
- Packing boxes
- Some plywood sheets
Some Canadian goods leave the list of products facing 50 per cent U.S. tariffs, while others join it.
“Canada is working very hard to make a deal with us, and I hate to say this, but we have all the cards.”
— Donald Trump, U.S. president
What we know
- Talks have stalled since August
- The list changes start at month's end
Not yet
- Whether a deal comes before the midterms
Talks have been at a standstill since August, and the prime minister says Canada could sign a deal at once if the U.S. were ready.
