The administration of President Donald Trump announced on Friday that tariffs on certain Canadian products linked to agriculture would be lifted. The move is expected to help Republican candidates before the midterms, especially long-serving Republican Senator for Maine Susan Collins.
In order to "continue effectively offsetting the burden to U.S. commerce while better serving the public interest, President Trump is ... removing certain products — such as plywood sheets, some paper products, certain machinery and refrigeration equipment, and certain packing crates and boxes — from the scope of the Section 338 tariffs," the White House said on Friday.
