Labour minister says Canada is working to prevent U.S. tariffs on vehicles

Labour Minister Steven MacKinnon stated that the Canadian government is actively working to prevent U.S. tariffs from being imposed. He met with workers in Windsor, Ontario, where concerns about potential tariffs on vehicles are high. Currently, tariffs on most goods are paused until March, but President Trump has threatened a 25% tariff on vehicles starting in April. MacKinnon emphasized the negative impact tariffs would have on both Canadian and American industries. Since Trump paused the tariffs on February 3, he has imposed tariffs on steel and aluminum from Canada, set to begin in March. MacKinnon continues to communicate with U.S. officials about the potential consequences of these tariffs.
