Trump: U.S. tariffs on Canadian autos, parts and steel to increase to 50% starting Jan. 1, 2027

Even with a long lead time, it can influence corporate planning, cross-border supply chains, and Canada's export outlook, raising risk premia on CAD and Canada-linked assets while increasing broader North America policy uncertainty.
