U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Monday that the United States will raise tariffs on selected Canadian goods to 50 percent from January 1, 2027. The measure is set to apply mainly to cars, car parts, trucks, metals, and steel from Canada. STVR (Minúta po minúte) ↗
Trump announced the move on his Truth Social network at a time when trade negotiations between Washington and Ottawa remain suspended. Several sources describe the situation as another escalation of the trade conflict between the United States and Canada. According to available information, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is already speaking of a trade war. Novy Cas ↗
Tensions were also heightened by reactions from Canadian provinces. Ontario Premier Doug Ford warned that if the dispute worsens further, countermeasures are also on the table, including restricting exports of electricity and critical minerals from Ontario to the United States. Trump justifies his decision by claiming that the United States does not need Canada, although critics point out that the new tariffs could raise costs for American car buyers. idnes.cz ↗
If the measure enters into force, it will hit one of the most interconnected industrial chains in North America. Further developments will depend on whether trade negotiations resume and whether Canada proceeds with retaliatory steps. n-tv ↗
