Canada reverses retaliatory tariffs on U.S. fish and seafood products.
Canada removed fish and seafood products from its list of retaliatory tariffs against the U.S., which were scheduled to take effect September 8, 2026. The reversal followed warnings from the Canadian seafood industry that the tariffs would harm the integrated cross-border seafood trade, including Maine lobster processing in New Brunswick. Fisheries Minister Joanne Thompson said the adjustments were made to protect Canada's economy.
