- On Tuesday, Canada announced plans to impose tariffs ranging from 15 to 50 per cent on United States exports, including raising duties on steel and aluminum products from 25 to 50 per cent.
- Late Wednesday, Finance Canada adjusted its counter-tariff list following feedback from Canadian industries, specifically removing seafood and fish products to protect against broader economic harm.
- LeBlanc stated Canada anticipates "further constructive U.S. clarifications on their other positions," though Greer warned the United States would not sit idly by if retaliation continues.
