Trump hits back at Carney, threatens to hike auto, truck, metals tariffs to 50%

President Donald Trump has threatened to increase tariffs on Canadian imports of cars, trucks, automobile parts, and steel to 50%. This escalation follows statements from Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, who indicated that Canada would retaliate economically. The move marks a significant intensification of trade tensions between the two nations, as Trump responds directly to Carney's warnings. The potential tariff hikes target key industrial sectors, including the automotive and metals industries, amid an escalating trade war.
