Canada's trade surplus with the U.S. reached its highest in six months ⁠at ⁠$7.1 billion and its share ​of exports to the U.S. dropped to 66.7 per cent — its lowest ever. That comes amid the ongoing trade war with the U.S., as President Donald Trump has slapped a range of tariffs ⁠on Canada in an attempt to try and shrink his country's trade deficit with its neighbour.

Canada's exports to countries other than the U.S. hit yet another record high in March. Exports to non-U.S. countries rose 9.1 per cent in March while imports from countries other than the United States ⁠fell 2.2 per cent in March, data ‌showed.
