Trump threatens more tariffs on Canadian automotive industry and steel

The United States' President Donald Trump has threatened to impose further tariffs on Canadian automobiles, car parts, and steel starting from January 1, 2027. The trade war between the two nations is intensifying, according to Trump, who posted his threat on Truth Social on Monday.

In response to Trump's announcement, Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau warned that Canada will match the 50% tariffs that the U.S. put into effect. The Canadian government plans to target sectors such as steel, dairy, appliances, agricultural equipment, pulp and paper, and electronics. Trudeau stated that these retaliatory measures will be "dollar-for-dollar" from September 8, affecting products currently subject to unjustified section 232 and 338 tariffs.
