Nova Scotia will not be adjusting its trade policies in response to the U.S. decision to temporarily pause tariffs on Canadian goods under USMCA.

Premier Tim Houston confirmed the province’s stance in a post on X, stating that Nova Scotia will “stay the course” despite recent developments. He did not indicate whether further measures were being considered but emphasized that the province remains focused on protecting local industries and jobs.

While Ottawa has delayed its second wave of tariffs on U.S. goods until April 2, provinces have been weighing their own responses to the shifting trade situation. Earlier this week, Ontario announced a 25 percent surcharge on electricity exports to the U.S. in response to Trump’s tariffs on Canadian energy.

Houston’s statement suggests Nova Scotia will not be taking similar action, though it remains unclear whether the province will adjust its position if trade tensions continue.
