One year after the U.S. imposed tariffs on Canada’s auto sector, here’s how industry leaders say it’s going

One year after U.S. President Donald Trump levied tariffs on the Canadian auto industry, leaders in the industry say they are eager to see an arrangement that restores predictability to the Canada-U.S. trade relationship.

The president and CEO of the Canadian Vehicle Manufacturers Association (CVMA) said he was initially optimistic that the tariffs would be temporary and that Canada would arrive at a new trade agreement with the U.S. that would see them removed.

Now, he said, he’s concerned by the fact that there doesn’t seem to be a resolution in sight.
