A United States senator says nine categories of Canadian exports will be exempted from U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs on Canada.
A statement released by Maine Sen. Susan Collins, a Republican, says the categories include corrugated paper, plastic boxes and several types of machinery important to her state’s agricultural industries.
Collins says the tariff exemptions are for products crucial to Maine’s agricultural industries, including blueberry, potato, apple and seaweed producers.
It comes just ahead of November’s midterm elections and Trump’s trade war with Canada has become a ballot box issue in Collins’ state.
