In an sit-down interview with Fox News, U.S. President Donald Trump said Canada “stole” the automobile industry from the United States.

Summary

Donald Trump warned he may impose tariffs of 50 to 100% on Canadian-made cars, claiming Canada “stole” the U.S. auto industry.

The U.S. and Canada have had a deeply integrated automotive sector since the 1965 Auto Pact, later reinforced by NAFTA and CUSMA.

Trump also enacted 25% tariffs on steel and aluminum to protect U.S. industries.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau vowed to push back, with Finance Minister Dominic LeBlanc traveling to Washington to meet Trump’s commerce pick and argue against the tariffs.

    Well, it’s a good thing I live where public transportation and even just straight up walking is not only viable but actually preferable!

    Shame the rest of the country was too busy crying about “freedom” and is about to get rat-fucked as their only viable mode of transportation(as it stands because they have not invested in good cities and towns) more than doubles in price! And oooooh how it will be nice to see the stupid overly large, and overly expensive, crossovers, SUVs, and trucks be the ones to get hit the hardest.

    I wonder which country will be fucked harder.
