Trump Set to Cut 50 Percent Canada Tariffs to Boost Collins in Maine
Sources familiar with the plan told the newspaper the changes could be unveiled as soon as Friday. They stressed that both the scope and the timing could shift.
The reported shift follows a push by Collins, a moderate Republican locked in a competitive race, for relief from duties that have hit Maine businesses and consumers. Maine’s deep economic ties to Canada have made cross-border trade a defining issue in the state’s Senate contest.
Collins’ Democratic opponent, Troy Jackson, has built much of his campaign around Trump’s trade policies toward Canada. Polls show the two candidates running neck and neck as Election Day approaches.
A White House official urged caution against reading the early reports as confirmation of an imminent policy change. “Any tariff announcements would come directly from the administration and any preliminary reporting is speculation,” the official said, according to the newspaper.
