Canadian industries, particularly auto manufacturing, are bracing for the fallout.
Industry analysts and trade experts have highlighted concerns about the potential impact on Canadian auto manufacturing, which heavily relies on cross-border trade with the United States.
They point out that the sector is already under strain from existing steel and aluminum tariffs, and additional duties could increase costs and make Canadian businesses less competitive.
Some critics warn that these measures could heighten trade tensions between Canada and the United States, further destabilizing the economic partnership between the two countries.
They caution that the proposed tariffs might disrupt supply chains and create challenges for industries beyond automotive manufacturing.
