AGP Executive Report
Last update: an hour agoUS-Canada Trade War Escalates: President Donald Trump says U.S. tariffs on Canadian cars, trucks, auto parts and steel will jump to 50% from Jan. 1, 2027, after talks collapsed and 50% duties already hit about $20B of Canadian goods. Retaliation Plan: Prime Minister Mark Carney says Canada will respond dollar-for-dollar with new tariffs starting Sept. 8, targeting U.S. steel, dairy and other sectors. Auto Industry Shockwaves: Analysts warn the move could disrupt the highly integrated North American auto supply chain and raise costs for U.S. automakers and consumers. Political Pressure: Trump also renewed claims Canada should be treated like a “state,” while Carney says the U.S. must change its “attitude” before negotiations restart. Regional Fallout: Ontario Premier Doug Ford warns Washington may face cuts to electricity and critical minerals if the fight worsens, and B.C. business groups urge Ottawa to reduce trade barriers as tariffs threaten jobs. Other Canada Watch: Hatch expands its Bowmanville office to support Ontario’s nuclear and clean-energy projects, and Carney announced $11.3B for six new Canadian Coast Guard icebreakers.
