A Canadian automotive industry group warns that escalating U.S. tariffs on light trucks and SUVs could trigger retaliatory measures that harm American automakers, deepening tensions in North America’s integrated car manufacturing sector. The group argues that higher costs for Canadian-made vehicles—already facing trade barriers—may push production shifts and supply chain disruptions, affecting brands with major operations on both sides of the border. With electric vehicle investments and cross-border supply chains at stake, industry leaders stress the need for balanced trade policies to avoid broader economic fallout. The comments come as tariffs continue to reshape the competitive landscape for automakers operating in both countries.
