Americas 2 sources 2 countries 🔦 Under-reported 22m ago

On Friday, two weeks ahead of the United States midterm elections, the Trump administration lifted certain tariffs on Canadian imports, including plywood sheets. The policy change affects a U.S.-Canada border state that has been heavily impacted by ongoing trade disputes.

The decision followed lobbying efforts by a vulnerable Republican candidate, Senator Susan Collins of Maine, who is facing a strong Democratic challenge in her reelection bid. The adjustment to the trade measures is seen as potentially aiding her campaign in the border state.
