Trump says U.S. will hike Canada auto tariffs to 50% as trade dispute widens
Trump says the higher duties will hit cars, trucks, auto parts and steel after talks collapsed, with Canada planning dollar-for-dollar retaliation.
- On Monday, President Donald Trump threatened to impose 50 percent tariffs on Canadian cars, trucks, auto parts, and steel beginning January 1, 2027, escalating the trade war with the United States' northern neighbor.
- Prime Minister Mark Carney announced Saturday that negotiations with Washington had failed, stating the U.S. demanded concessions that would "permanently disadvantage" Canadian industries. This collapse followed a week of deteriorating cross-border relations.
- Alleging a $60 billion trade deficit, Trump accused Ottawa of "ripping off" the United States for years and described Canadian tariffs on American farmers as "ridiculously high" and unsustainable.
- Ottawa confirmed it will retaliate dollar-for-dollar beginning next month, while Ontario Premier Doug Ford backed Carney's decision to reject a "bad deal" and Premiers seek federal support for affected businesses.
- Trump claimed the U.S. "doesn't need Canada," noting that Canada conducts 95% of its business with the United States. He urged companies to "Build in the U.S." to avoid the new tariffs.
