Trump threatens 50% tariffs on Canadian automobiles, steel in latest trade dispute
Americas3 sources3 countries🔦 Under-reported30m ago
United States President Donald Trump has threatened to double tariffs on Canadian automobiles and steel, escalating a trade dispute between the two nations following the collapse of bilateral negotiations. In a social media post on Monday, Trump announced that the increased levies on all large and small cars, trucks, automotive parts, and steel will take effect on January 1, 2027.
The latest trade threat follows Canada's failure to reach a deal to avert previously imposed 50 percent tariffs by the Trump administration on select Canadian goods. The unfolding dispute marks a significant escalation in economic tensions between the neighboring countries as they spiral toward an intensifying trade conflict.
