Canada Imposes 25% Tariffs on Non-USMCA U.S. Vehicles in Retaliation

Prime Minister Mark Carney announces targeted tariffs following Trump's auto import levies, signaling the end of U.S.-anchored global trade.

  • Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney announced 25% tariffs on U.S. vehicles that are not compliant with the USMCA trade agreement, mirroring Trump's auto tariffs.
  • The Canadian government emphasized a calibrated approach, excluding auto parts from tariffs to minimize disruptions to the integrated North American auto industry.
  • Carney declared the end of the U.S.-anchored global trade system, outlining plans to strengthen trade ties with other nations, including Germany.
  • The tariffs come as Canada's auto sector faces immediate challenges, with Stellantis temporarily closing its Windsor plant, affecting 3,600 workers.
  • Canada has committed $2 billion to support its auto industry and workers impacted by the tariffs, with all revenue from the counter-tariffs directed to affected sectors.
