Negotiations on automotive tariffs between Washington and Ottawa

The United States and Canada are negotiating an easing of tariffs on automobiles and steel, Washington having imposed a 50% tariff on vehicles. These measures are changing industrial strategies, with General Motors strengthening its production in Canada, while Ottawa is also targeting vehicles made in the United States. Despite an announced agreement, the reduction of tariffs on automobiles is not yet effective and trade discussions have been relaunched, limited to certain sectors. The sub-events mainly concern the United States and Canada, with US political issues such as the midterms and the Senate race in Michigan, while the French press covers the file without detailing a specific national position in the provided elements.
