Canada is retaliating against Trump’s trade policy with a 25% tariff on vehicles imported from the U.S. that are not compliant with the Canada-US-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA).
Prime Minister Mark Carney announced the countermeasure during a press conference in Ottawa this morning.
The Canadian government is imposing the tariff on non-Canadian content of any CUSMA-compliant vehicles from the U.S., Carney said. Mexico won’t be impacted.
“Our tariffs will not affect auto parts because we know the benefits of our integrated production system,” Prime Minister Carney said, adding that the government is developing “a framework” for automakers to avoid counter-tariffs as long as they maintain production and investment in Canada.
In response to President Trump’s tariffs on our auto sector, Canada will impose a 25% tariff on all U.S. vehicle imports that do not comply with our free trade agreement.
All revenues from these tariffs will be used to support our Canadian auto workers and their industry.
