Canada announced a temporary six-month relief from its countermeasure tariffs on U.S. goods critical to domestic manufacturing, processing, and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/food-and-beverage">food and beverage packaging</a>.
The decision signaled a notable de-escalation in North America's trade standoff and aligned with a more conciliatory tone recently struck by the Trump administration.
The move follows Washington's unexpected shift in posture last week, when President Donald Trump pledged a 90-day pause on new reciprocal tariffs to allow for "fair" with strategic partners.

Canadian Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne, in a press release Tuesday morning, emphasized the strategic nature of the tariff relief, which will apply to U.S. inputs used in key sectors vital to Canada's economic and national security. 
&#8220;We continue to stand by Canada's workers and businesses. Today, we're giving Canadian companies and entities more time to adjust their supply chains and become less dependent on U.S. suppliers. This will help make our economy stronger and more resilient," Champagne said.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Automakers Get A Conditional Pass</h3>
Canada also announced a performance-based remission framework aimed at automakers with operations in the country. 
Under this plan, manufacturers who continue to produce and invest in Canadian facilities will be allowed to import a limited volume of U.S.-assembled, CUSMA-compliant vehicles tariff-free.
&#8220;The number of tariff-free vehicles a company is permitted to import will be reduced if there are reductions in Canadian production or investment,&#8221; Canadian authorities highlighted.
On April 3, the U.S. implemented 25% tariffs on Canadian automobiles, targeting the non-U.S. content even in CUSMA-compliant vehicles. 
In response, Canada imposed its own 25% tariffs on U.S.-made vehicles that aren't CUSMA-compliant, as well as on the non-Canadian and non-Mexican components of compliant U.S. vehicles, on April 9.
Canada and the U.S. share a trade relationship worth more than $1.3 trillion annually, with over $3.6 billion exchanged daily. 
Canada is the top buyer of U.S. goods, absorbing 17.5% of American exports, while ranking as the second-largest source of U.S. imports. 
In sectors like autos and energy, the two economies operate as a single ecosystem—making trade skirmishes particularly disruptive.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">A Financial Lifeline For Big Canadian Business</h3>
Champagne also confirmed that applications are now open for the Large Enterprise Tariff Loan Facility, a government-backed program to provide liquidity to firms hit hardest by the tariff fight. 
The facility targets companies tied to food, energy and national security, provided they weren't already in insolvency prior to the crisis. Eligible businesses must commit to maintaining operations and preserving jobs in Canada.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">How Markets Reacted</h3>

Recent <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/02/43420421/marco-rubios-panama-visit-will-trumps-aggressive-rhetoric-lead-to-war-or-diplomacy">statements</a> by President Donald Trump regarding potential changes in the status of the Panama Canal have raised concerns about possible impacts on various stocks and exchange-traded funds. After all, some 4% of global trade passes through the canal, with more than 70% of that traffic bound for or coming from the U.S., <a href="https://www.wsj.com/world/americas/china-panama-canal-development-what-it-means-7c5dc870">according</a> to the Wall Street Journal.
What Happened: On Sunday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio warned Panama&#8217;s President José Raúl Mulino that Washington will &#8220;take measures necessary&#8221; if Panama does not immediately take steps to put an end to what Trump&nbsp;considers China&#8217;s influence and control over the Panama Canal.
Following the talks with Rubio, who is on a tour of Central America, Mulino signaled he would review agreements involving China and Chinese businesses. Since Trump took office, he has reiterated his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42639737/trumps-call-to-reclaim-panama-canal-sparks-backlash-every-square-meter-belongs-to-panama-says-president-mulino" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">threat to forcibly retake the Panama Canal</a>, which generates some $2.5 billion in annual revenue for Panama.
As a critical conduit for international maritime trade, any changes to its operations could naturally affect companies involved in shipping, logistics and transportation.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Which Companies Might Be Affected? Quite A Few</h1>
Let's start with the shipping-owning company SFL Corporation Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFL#NYSE">SFL</a>), which is engaged in the ownership and operation of vessels and offshore-related assets. There are two others that could see changes: Costamare Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMRE#NYSE">CMRE</a>), which owns and charters container ships, and Navios Maritime Holdings (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NMPGY#NYSE">NMPGY</a>), an international owner and operator of dry cargo vessels.
Next, we have the railway companies that provide freight services across the U.S. These include CSX Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CSX#NASDAQ">CSX</a>), Norfolk Southern Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NSC#NYSE">NSC</a>), Union Pacific Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UNP#NYSE">UNP</a>), Canadian Pacific Kansas City Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CP#NYSE">CP</a>) and the Canadian National Railway Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CNI#NYSE">CNI</a>).
Now let's look at the ETFs that focus on all of the above — shipping, air freight and the courier industries.
U.S. Global Sea to Sky Cargo (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SEA#NYSE">SEA</a>), Breakwave Dry Bulk Shipping (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BDRY#NYSE">BDRY</a>) provides exposure to the daily change in the price of dry bulk freight futures and SPRD S&amp;P Transportation ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XTN#NYSE">XTN</a>), which represents the transportation segment of the S&amp;P Total Market Index ("S&amp;P TMI") designed to&nbsp;track the broad U.S. equity market.
