Canada Removes Seafood From Retaliatory Tariff List.

Canada's Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne announced retaliatory tariffs on $27.6 billion in U.S. imports Tuesday, matching the rates the U.S. imposed on Canadian goods.

• Counter-tariffs of 15, 25, and 50% take effect September 8.
• Targeted sectors include steel, dairy, appliances, farm equipment, and electronics.
• $7.5 billion in support for Canadian workers and businesses affected by U.S. tariffs.
• Canada's counter-tariffs cover about 6% of U.S. exports to Canada last year.

Why it matters: The two countries share a nearly $900 billion annual trading relationship. Tariffs on both sides raise costs for consumers and strain industries in both nations.

• Prime Minister Carney acknowledged the tariffs 'will raise costs and reduce choice for Canadians.'
• Trade experts told CBS News that the narrow scope of both countries' tariffs — each covering roughly 5–6% of bilateral exports — limits immediate economy-wide disruption.

Where they split: The core dispute is whether the tariffs represent a credible, proportionate response or a narrow, symbolic measure with limited economic bite.

What’s next: Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre called on the government to recall Parliament and release the proposed deal text.

• Canada's new tariffs could pressure Republican candidates in key U.S. midterm races, economists said.
• Would a recalled Parliament change Canada's negotiating posture, or is the 'Team Canada' framing largely symbolic?
• What were the terms of the proposed deal Canada walked away from, and why did negotiations collapse?
