Monday, March 10, 2025 at 6:10 PM

China is slapping a 25% tariff on Canadian seafood, including lobster, starting March 20. This move is in response to Canada's recent tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles and other goods, which is causing tensions in trade relations. Nova Scotia's seafood industry, heavily reliant on exports to China, now faces significant challenges. Approximately 40% of their seafood exports are affected by this tariff.
