On the day after announcing import tariffs on US goods, Canada removed fish and seafood from the counter tariff list. Canada's Treasury said on X that officials made this adjustment “based on feedback” to “prevent wider economic damage.” “We are continuing to work with various Canadian industries to evaluate the effectiveness of these measures, focusing on those affected by US tariffs,” the statement said. The statement added that Canada will make corresponding adjustments to ensure the implementation of “amount to amount, tax rate to tax rate” countermeasures for US goods. Canada's relevant tariffs will come into effect on September 8. As the US midterm elections approach, the two states of Maine and Alaska are facing the impact of seafood tariffs. According to Canada's Global News, some Canadian processors importing American lobster are concerned about tariffs, while producers are worried that the US may take retaliatory measures.
