President Donald Trump signed an order on Friday removing 50% tariffs on select agricultural and forestry imports from Canada, aiding domestic firms reliant on those goods. The decision follows appeals from vulnerable Republican lawmakers seeking to protect northern border industries ahead of tight elections. The exemption aims to relieve cost pressures on United States producers facing supply constraints.
