On Wednesday, August 27th, 2026, the Canadian government announced it would exempt seafood and fish products from its retaliatory tariffs on U.S. goods. In a statement, Canada’s Department of Finance explained that the decision was made in response to "feedback" and emphasized that removing seafood and fish from the tariffs will "protect against broader economic harms."

This adjustment reflects Canada's effort to mitigate the economic impact of its levies while maintaining its stance in trade relations with the United States.
