WASHINGTON, United States (AFP) — United States (US) President Donald Trump said Monday that he would double tariffs on Canadian vehicles beginning in 2027, as the neighboring countries spiral towards an escalating trade war.
“On January First, 2027, Tariffs on all Cars, Trucks, both large and small, Automotive Parts, and Steel, will be increased to 50%,” he wrote on his Truth Social platform.
The current US tariff on autos stands at 25 per cent for non-US content, while imported steel to the United States generally faces a 50-per cent duty.
