President Donald Trump has stated that the tariffs imposed on Canadian automobile imports could potentially be raised in the future. He also mentioned that his administration is currently engaged in negotiations with Canada.
Earlier in the month, Trump implemented a 25 percent tariff on all automobile imports to the United States. However, there is a partial exemption for vehicles manufactured under the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement on trade.
The North American automotive industry is highly integrated, with vehicles frequently crossing the border between Canada and the U.S. during the manufacturing process.
Trump expressed his desire for Canada to have no involvement in the American automobile industry.
When questioned about the upcoming Canadian election, the President chose not to comment. However, he did mention having positive discussions with Prime Minister Mark Carney.
Trump reiterated his assertion that the United States does not require anything from Canada and suggested that Canada should become a U.S. state.
