Canada could announce retaliatory tariffs on the United States on Tuesday after trade negotiations collapsed over vehicle exemptions. The standoff follows a threat by President Donald Trump to raise tariffs on all automotive imports from Canada to 50%. The escalation threatens integrated cross-border supply chains and raises cost pressures for North American automakers.
