WASHINGTON — The White House has lifted tariffs on a selection of Canadian goods, a policy shift arriving just ahead of high-stakes midterm elections.
The decision follows active lobbying by vulnerable lawmakers seeking relief for local economies. Among them, Republican Senator Susan Collins—who faces a difficult reelection battle next month—confirmed she had been directly collaborating with the administration to secure the tariff rollbacks.
The adjustments come at a critical political juncture as candidates across the country make their final appeals to voters ahead of the upcoming congressional contests.
