Prime Minister Mark Carney announced last Friday that Canada will drop some retaliatory tariffs on U.S. products to match American tariff exemptions for goods covered under the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement on trade, called CUSMA.
Canada’s counter-tariffs on steel, aluminum and automobiles will remain.
LeBlanc has said the retaliatory tariffs were a major sticking point in negotiations ahead of President Donald Trump’s decision to boost duties on Canada to 35 per cent earlier this month.
Those tariffs do not apply to CUSMA compliant goods but Canada is also being hammered by Trump’s separate tariffs on key sectors.
