Starting Wednesday, April 9, Canada is implementing tariffs on American automobiles in response to tariffs introduced by U.S. President Donald Trump.
This was announced by Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney on X.
According to Carney, Canada’s counter-tariff measures will take effect on April 9.
A 25% tariff will be imposed on all U.S.-made vehicles that do not meet the terms of the free trade agreement, as well as a 25% tariff on auto parts that do meet the agreement’s criteria, but are not sourced from Mexico or Canada.
“President Trump caused this trade crisis — and Canada is responding with focus and strength,” Carney stated.
It’s worth noting that Canada was exempted from the 10% base tariffs the U.S. imposed on nearly all countries globally. However, the 25% U.S. tariff on imported cars does apply to Canada.
In response, Canada has introduced its own 25% tariff on U.S. car imports that do not comply with the terms of the free trade agreement.
