President Donald Trump threatened Monday to impose 50% tariffs on Canadian-made vehicles, auto parts and steel beginning in January 2027, accusing Canada of "ripping off" the United States for years.
Trump issued the warning in a Truth Social Post, writing, "WE DON’T NEED CANADA, THEY NEED US!"
"Canada has been ripping off the United States of America for years. Their ridiculously high tariffs on our Farmers and farm products has made life impossible for these great American Patriots, and has long created a 60 Billion Dollar Deficit between our two Countries. Not sustainable, and NOT ANYMORE!" the president's post read.
Trump warned the tariff hike on Canadian cars, trucks, automotive parts and steel would begin on January 1, 2027.
"Build in the U.S. and there are ZERO TARIFFS," Trump wrote. "Canada will be treated like a State no longer! On Trade, and in other ways, also, they are among the worst Nations in the World to deal with. They feel entitled, and yet, WE DON’T NEED CANADA, THEY NEED US! They do 95% of their business with the U.S., with us, the exact opposite!"
