US changes tariffs on Canadian goods

The U.S. government has removed duties of 50% on certain goods from Canada. This is stated in the documents published on the White House website.

President Donald Trump’s decision concerns certain products of the pulp and paper industry, equipment for it and plywood. At the same time, new duties of 50% are introduced on certain types of textile and agricultural goods.

Trump has said Canada is working on a trade deal with the United States. But Prime Minister Mark Carney said Ottawa was in no hurry to negotiate a new deal to lower tariffs.

In August, Washington imposed 50 percent tariffs on some Canadian goods after the breakdown of trade talks. Carney announced the suspension of dialogue and response. In September, Canada imposed duties on American products.
