Summary

Donald Trump warned he may impose tariffs of 50 to 100% on Canadian-made cars, claiming Canada “stole” the U.S. auto industry.

The U.S. and Canada have had a deeply integrated automotive sector since the 1965 Auto Pact, later reinforced by NAFTA and CUSMA.

Trump also enacted 25% tariffs on steel and aluminum to protect U.S. industries.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau vowed to push back, with Finance Minister Dominic LeBlanc traveling to Washington to meet Trump’s commerce pick and argue against the tariffs.

      This is the dude who replaced NAFTA with our current trade agreement with Canada and Mexico and can’t stop talking about how terrible the trade agreement with Canada and Mexico is. I don’t think he understands a lot outside of manipulation.
