Canada drops retaliatory tariffs to align with U.S. exemptions under trade pact

Canada is dropping retaliatory tariffs to match U.S. tariff exemptions for goods covered under the United States-Mexico-Canada trade pact, Prime Minister Mark Carney announced Friday.

Carney said Canada will include the carve-out that the U.S. has on Canadian goods under the 2020 free trade deal that shields the vast majority of goods from the punishing duties.

“Canada currently has the best trade deal with the United States. And while it’s different from what we had before, it's still better than that of any other country,” Carney said.

Carney and U.S. President Donald Trump spoke on the phone Thursday, and Carney met with his Cabinet on Friday before making the announcement.

Of which a lot of those retaliatory tariffs were not helping.

Now whether food prices will go down a bit after this move remains to be seen.

Ottawa collected $2.5 Billions from them so far. There were talks of sending checks or direct deposits to the taxpayers during the campaign by the Liberal Party. Let's see if they will make good on that in the coming weeks.

Inflation numbers for July are not good.
