Canada will remove all tariffs on US goods that are compliant with the existing North American free trade agreement, Prime Minister Mark Carney said Friday, matching exemptions affirmed earlier this month by Washington.
Carney, speaking a day after a call with US President Donald Trump, told reporters that as of September 1 Canada would be “eliminating all Canadian tariffs on American goods” under the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement, bringing Ottawa’s levies in line with current US tariffs, as the countries “intensify” discussions on a broader trade deal.
