Canada is dropping retaliatory tariffs to match U.S. tariff exemptions for goods covered under the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement trade pact, a government official familiar with the matter said Friday. The move will remove tariffs on the majority of goods Maine sends to Canada, its biggest trading partner. The move is designed to reset trade talks between the two countries. The USMCA is up for review in 2026.
