TORONTO (AP) — Canada is dropping retaliatory tariffs to match U.S. tariff exemptions for goods covered under the United States-Mexico-Canada trade pact, a government official familiar with the matter said Friday.

Canada is reportedly planning to remove retaliatory tariffs on USMCA-compliant U.S. goods in an effort to restart trade talks with President Donald Trump's administration.
