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.

Trump Rebukes Allies Over Palestine, Pressures Europe on Ukraine at UN

 

President Trump meets with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly on September 23, 2025.


In a fiery address to the United Nations General Assembly, President Donald Trump sharpened his stance on two of the world’s most pressing conflicts—Ukraine and Gaza—while lashing out at allies who have moved to recognize a Palestinian state.

Trump warned European nations that continued recognition of Palestinian statehood amounted to “rewarding Hamas” and undermining Israel’s security. He insisted that any path forward in Gaza must prioritize the release of hostages and a ceasefire-for-hostages deal, rejecting international calls for broader recognition of Palestinian sovereignty.

On Ukraine, Trump signaled a shift from his earlier ambivalence, pressing European leaders to adopt the same “powerful tariffs” and economic measures against Russia that he said the United States is prepared to impose if Moscow refuses to negotiate an end to the war. He criticized NATO allies for continuing to purchase Russian oil, calling it “funding the war against themselves.”

The speech, which also included attacks on migration policies and climate change initiatives, underscored Trump’s combative approach to global diplomacy. While allies had hoped for clarity on U.S. commitments, the address instead highlighted widening rifts between Washington and European capitals over both Ukraine and Palestine.
