Consumers could benefit from dropped tariffs on U.S. goods, but unions raise concerns

OTTAWA - Canada's move to drop many retaliatory tariffs on U.S. goods could lead to lower prices for consumers, but union leaders worry it could undermine this country's bargaining position in ongoing trade talks.

Prime Minister Mark Carney announced Friday that Canada will drop some retaliatory tariffs on American products to match U.S. tariff exemptions for goods covered under the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement.
