The US will partially lift 50% tariffs on select Canadian goods (plywood, paper products, machinery, refrigeration equipment) effective October 30, while simultaneously imposing new tariffs on other items (valves, carpets, waste-derived goods). This action represents a targeted adjustment rather than a broad de-escalation of bilateral trade tensions. The rationale for this specific rebalancing of tariffs remains unclear.
