Canada excludes US seafood from retaliatory tariffs

Canada removed seafood ​and fish products ​from a list of ​counter tariffs on U.S. imports on Wednesday, a day after announcing levies on ‌about $20 ⁠billion worth ⁠of American products.

"Based on feedback, we have made ​select adjustments to protect against economic harms, including removing seafood ​and fish products ⁠from our ‌list of counter ​tariffs," ​Canada's Department of Finance ⁠said in a post on X.

​Canada is matching Washington's ​latest duties dollar for dollar after the U.S. imposed new 50% tariffs on Canadian imports on Saturday.


"We are ‌continually working with Canadian industries to assess the effectiveness ​of ​these measures, ⁠with a primary focus on industries that have been targeted by US ​tariffs," the statement said.

The Canadian tariffs will take effect from September 8.
