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.

Israel Dismisses Claims of Lebanon Talks and Missile Interceptor Shortages

Israel’s foreign minister has firmly rejected reports suggesting imminent direct talks with Lebanon or a shortage of missile interceptors, pushing back against claims circulating in regional media. 

Israel’s Foreign Minister Gideon Saar has denied reports that the country is preparing to enter direct negotiations with Lebanon, following media claims that such talks could begin soon. The reports, originating from Israeli outlet Haaretz, suggested that diplomatic engagement was imminent amid ongoing regional tensions. Saar rejected these assertions outright, stating that no such discussions were planned. 

In addition, Saar refuted claims that Israel had informed the United States of critically low supplies of ballistic missile interceptors. The report, initially published by Semafor and echoed by other outlets, alleged that Israel was facing a shortage amid heightened conflict dynamics. Saar dismissed the allegation, reiterating that Israel had not communicated any such concern to Washington. 

The foreign minister emphasized Israel’s alignment with the United States in its broader regional strategy, particularly regarding ongoing tensions with Iran. He underscored that Israel remains focused on long-term security measures rather than short-term crisis management.
