Automotive tariffs between United States and Canada: negotiations and 50% duty

The United States and Canada are negotiating relief on customs duties for steel and automobiles, while a U.S. 50% tariff on vehicles weighs on the industry and reshapes the global production map. General Motors is stepping up its investments and production in Canada in response to this tariff. Despite an announced agreement between Ottawa and Washington, the Canadian automotive sector is still waiting for a reduction in customs duties. The sub-events show differences: in the United States, the issue becomes a stake in the Senate race in Michigan, while in Canada attention focuses on implementation of the agreement and GM's decisions.
