Honda warned that 50% US tariffs on Canadian vehicles and parts would be catastrophic for the auto industry. President Donald Trump has threatened to double tariffs on Canadian vehicles and parts from 25% to 50% if a trade deal is not reached between the two countries. The warning highlights the deep integration of North American auto supply chains.

Why it matters:North American carmaking depends on cross-border parts flows, so a doubling of tariffs would raise prices for consumers and could disrupt production across the continent.
