NewzPresident Donald Trump threatened to impose 50 percent tariffs on Canadian imported cars, trucks, auto parts, and steel, scheduled to take effect on New Year's Day. The announcement followed the unraveling of trade talks between the two nations and a verbal clash with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney on Monday. Trump justified the proposed measures on Truth Social by asserting that Canada has exploited the United States in trade for years.
The threatened steep increase marks a significant escalation in bilateral trade tensions. According to reports, the escalating dispute has brought the United States and Canada to the brink of a full-blown trade war.
