Overview

• Starting Sept. 1, Canada will align and lift duties on many U.S. agricultural products, consumer goods and machinery.
• Retaliatory tariffs on U.S. autos, steel and aluminum remain in place.
• The move is meant to inject momentum into stalled talks on a comprehensive economic and security agreement with Washington.
• The announcement followed a phone call that the government described as constructive between Prime Minister Mark Carney and President Donald Trump.
• Carney said about 85% of Canada–U.S. trade already moves tariff-free, emphasizing continuity for most cross-border commerce.
