Canada on Wednesday reversed some retaliatory tariffs it placed on the United States after facing backlash from the seafood sector.

Canadian Fisheries Minister Joanne Thompson removed seafood and fish sector products from a list of proposed tariffs. In a statement, Canada’s Department of Finance said “select adjustments” were based on “feedback, to protect against broader economic harms.”
