In October 2025, Canada announced some tariff relief for specific steel, aluminum, and motor vehicle imports from the U.S. and China to help businesses. Canada also revealed a new target to double its non-U.S. exports in the next decade, citing U.S. tariffs as a factor affecting Canada's economy. Meanwhile, the U.S. has imposed or increased tariffs on certain products, including a 10% tariff on softwood timber and a 25% tariff on certain furniture, which will take effect later in the year.
