Canada-US Trade War Escalates: 50% Auto Tariffs, Political Rhetoric, and Green Policy Clash

The U.S. has escalated its trade war with Canada by proposing a 50% tariff on Canadian car imports, doubling the existing 25% levy. President Trump announced the move after trade talks collapsed, prompting Prime Minister Mark Carney to pledge a "dollar for dollar" retaliation. The proposed tariffs, set to take effect January 1, target the backbone of Canada's auto sector — Toyota and Honda, which account for more than three-quarters of all cars made in Canada.
