Trump escalated threats to 50% tariffs on Canadian automobiles after Ontario's Doug Ford suggested Canada cut electricity and minerals exports to the U.S. Canada immediately responded it would match any tariffs dollar-for-dollar. The threat is significant because auto manufacturing is deeply integrated across the U.S.-Canada border; a 50% tariff would disrupt supply chains and likely raise vehicle prices on both sides. This isn't posturing anymore—both governments are publicly committing to retaliation.
