Summary

President Trump lifted some of his 50% tariffs on Canadian goods, exempting products including Maine's blueberry, potato, apple, and seaweed exports. Sen. Susan Collins said she had secured the exemptions after repeated requests to Ambassador Greer, Secretary Lutnick and other administration officials, and said she would keep seeking a broader U.S.-Canada trade agreement. The move comes days before Maine voters decide her reelection race against Democrat Troy Jackson.
