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. A threatened doubling of auto tariffs on January 1, 2027 could push them higher still — here's what's confirmed, what's not, and what it means if you're in the market for a car. 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.

Prince Harry Wins 'Monumental' Legal Battle Against Murdoch's Sun

 


In a landmark victory, Prince Harry has won a significant legal battle against Rupert Murdoch's UK newspaper group, News Group Newspapers (NGN). The publisher admitted to unlawful actions at its Sun tabloid and issued a rare, full apology to the Duke of Sussex.

Harry, 40, had been suing NGN for illegally obtaining private information about him from 1996 until 2011. The settlement includes substantial damages and an admission of intrusion into the private lives of both Harry and his late mother, Princess Diana.

"This victory is not just about me, it's about holding those who abuse their power to account," Harry said in a statement. "The truth has finally been acknowledged, and justice has been served."

The apology from NGN marks a significant moment in the ongoing battle against unlawful media practices. Harry's lawyer, David Sherborne, emphasized that this case was about accountability and truth, rather than monetary compensation.

The settlement comes after last-minute talks, averting a trial that was set to begin earlier this week. Harry's co-claimant, former senior British lawmaker Tom Watson, also received an apology and damages.

Harry's mission to expose and rectify the wrongdoings of the British tabloids has resulted in a historic win, setting a precedent for future cases involving media misconduct.
