You never look for the details, do you?
'In response to the U.S. tariffs, Canada had implemented its own
retaliatory measures on American goods. However, in a move to mirror the
U.S. exemption for CUSMA-compliant products, the Canadian government
announced that it would be removing these retaliatory tariffs effective
September 1, 2025.'
'U.S. and Canadian officials have said the across-the-board tariffs
Trump is threatening to impose on Aug. 1 won't apply to goods that
comply with the terms of CUSMA. '
