Trump threatens to double tariffs on Canadian-made vehicles

US President Donald Trump warned on Monday that he may significantly raise import tariffs on vehicles manufactured in Canada. According to his statement, starting in 2027, the current tariff rates on such vehicles could be doubled.

The announcement comes amid a period of repeated tension in trade relations between the United States and Canada over tariff policy. Since returning to the White House, Trump has frequently used tariff threats as a pressure tool in negotiations with various countries, including neighboring Canada.

No further details have been disclosed about the exact size of the new tariffs, and it remains unclear whether and to what extent this threat will actually be carried out. The source report does not mention any reaction from the Canadian government or automakers to the statement.

The issue of automotive tariffs is sensitive for both countries, as US and Canadian vehicle manufacturing supply chains are closely interlinked. Any changes to tariff policy could affect both manufacturers and consumers in both nations.
