‘We Don’t Need Canada’: Trump Escalates Trade War With Threat of 50% Auto Tariffs

President Donald Trump has vowed to increase tariffs on cars, trucks, auto parts, and steel to 50 percent starting January 1. This escalation occurs as the United States and Canada edge toward a full-blown trade war.
