Trump's 50% Auto Tariff Threat: What It Means If You're Buying a Car in 2027

  Vehicle prices in Canada are already up thousands of dollars since the trade war began.

On Monday, U.S. President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social that tariffs on all Canadian-made cars, trucks, auto parts, and steel would rise to 50% starting January 1, 2027 — effectively doubling the current 25% rate. The threat landed hours after cross-border trade talks collapsed late Friday night, triggering a separate round of 50% tariffs on roughly $20 billion of other Canadian goods and a promised Canadian retaliation package set for September 8.

Chicken Cacciatore

 

Ingredients:

  • 4 chicken thighs
  • 2 chicken breasts (with skin and backbone, halved crosswise)
  • 2 teaspoons salt (plus more to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper (plus more to taste)
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (for dredging)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large red bell pepper (chopped)
  • 1 onion (chopped)
  • 3 garlic cloves (finely chopped)
  • 3/4 cup dry white wine
  • 1 (28-ounce) can diced tomatoes (with juice)
  • 3/4 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
  • 3 tablespoons drained capers
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano leaves
  • 1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh basil leaves

Instructions:

  1. Season the chicken with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of pepper. Dredge the chicken in the flour and coat well.
  2. In a large heavy sauté pan, heat the oil over a medium-high flame. Add the chicken and brown on both sides. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  3. Keeping the same pan over medium heat, add the peppers, onions, and garlic and sauté until tender, about 5 minutes.
  4. Add the wine and simmer for 1 minute. Add the tomatoes with their juice, broth, capers, and oregano. Return the chicken to the pan and turn them to coat in the sauce. Bring the sauce to a simmer.
  5. Continue simmering over medium-low heat until the chicken is just cooked through, about 30 minutes for the breast pieces, and 20 minutes for the thighs.
  6. If using, sprinkle the chopped basil over the chicken and serve.
