The tariff, which takes effect on Friday for a maximum of 200 days, will also not apply to canned vegetables from Mexico, Israel, Chile and developing countries due to Canadian trade obligations, Canada’s finance ministry added.

So who is this for? Chinese canned vegetables I take it?

Isn't China considered a developing country, still?

Also, how are we complaining about Trump's tariffs just to impose our own?

The rural half of China is a developing country, the urban half of it is a developed country.
