  "account": "US President Donald Trump has officially lifted 50% tariffs on some Canadian products. The move, announced through a decree signed on Friday, will take effect on October 30, just ahead of the November 3 election. The tariffs have been removed from items such as plywood panels, certain paper products, machinery, and seaweed, benefiting producers in Maine, a state where Republican Senator Susan Collins is facing a tight race against Democrat Troy Jackson. In return, Trump has added other Canadian products, including carpets and shampoos, to the tariff list.",
  "summary": "Just before the midterm elections on November 3, the White House is loosening tariffs on agricultural and forestry products from Canada. However, other goods were added to the list.",
