US President Donald Trump announced on Monday that the US would double tariffs on Canadian vehicles from 2027 as he accused Ottawa of "ripping off the United States of America for years."

In a post on his Truth Social account, Trump wrote: "On January First, 2027, Tariffs on all Cars, Trucks, both large and small, Automotive Parts, and Steel, will be increased to 50%."

Current US tariff rates on automobiles stand at 25% for non-US content.
