The Trump administration is reducing some tariffs on Canadian goods just weeks before the midterm elections, following pressure from Republican Senator Susan Collins. Starting October 30, tariffs will be lowered on products like plywood and certain machinery. Collins stated these changes will benefit Maine's agricultural sector. The U.S. had imposed a 50% tariff on $20 billion worth of Canadian goods after failed trade negotiations. Canada retaliated with countermeasures. While some tariffs will be lifted, others will be introduced. The announcement comes as both countries seek a more favorable trade relationship amid ongoing tensions.
