President Trump lifted tariffs on several Canadian goods used by agricultural producers after Sen. Susan Collins requested and secured the exemptions.
According to reporting from CBS News and The Guardian, President Trump dropped tariffs on a select group of Canadian goods to aid farmers, a move described as a direct boost to Sen. Susan Collins during her reelection campaign. CBS News notes that Collins asked top administration officials for tariff relief on items used by Maine's agricultural industry, such as specialized harvesting boxes and packing equipment.
