Surprisingly, the damage is also affecting American companies. While several countries are threatening retaliatory measures, the Trump administration has escalated matters further by threatening additional tariffs\u2014signaling that the trade war Trump ignited in his first term is intensifying.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"\" data-start=\"588\" data-end=\"643\">Trump Threatens EU and Canada with More Tariffs<\/h3>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"644\" data-end=\"811\">On Thursday, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/2025\/03\/11\/trump-threatens-canada-with-tariffs-and-calls-for-annexation-as-51st-u-s-state\/\">Trump<\/a> threatened to impose more tariffs on the European Union and Canada if they cooperate to \u201charm the U.S. economy.\u201d He wrote on Truth Social: \u201cIf the EU works with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/2025\/02\/02\/trump-imposes-new-tariffs-on-canada-mexico-and-china-escalating-trade-tensions\/\">Canada<\/a> to inflict economic harm on the U.S., broad tariffs\u2014far beyond what\u2019s currently planned\u2014will be imposed to protect the best friend either of them ever had,\u201d according to AFP.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1019\" data-end=\"1472\">After targeting steel and aluminum, and with lumber and copper next, Trump\u2019s move to impose 25% tariffs on all vehicle and auto part imports has shaken both U.S. and global auto manufacturers. Reuters warned this could raise the price of a mid-range American car by thousands of dollars and severely disrupt North American vehicle production, which relies heavily on integrated operations between Canada, Mexico, and the U.S.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1474\" data-end=\"1830\">According to GlobalData, nearly half of all vehicles sold in the U.S. last year were imported. Shares in General Motors dropped 8%, while Ford and Stellantis lost around 4.5% each. In Asia, Toyota, Honda, and Hyundai stocks fell between 3% and 4%. Even Tesla, which manufactures in the U.S. but imports parts, fell 1.3%.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1832\" data-end=\"2076\">Trump\u2019s tariffs and ongoing threats have created uncertainty for businesses and turmoil in global markets. He repeated on Wednesday his belief that the tariffs would push automakers to invest in the U.S. instead of Canada or Mexico.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_14140\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14140\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-14140 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/1236666.jpg\" alt=\"Trump Threatens Canada with Tariffs and Calls for Annexation as 51st U.S. State\" width=\"1000\" height=\"666\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/1236666.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/1236666-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/1236666-768x511.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-14140\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">U.S. President Donald Trump escalates trade tensions with Canada,<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 class=\"\" data-start=\"2083\" data-end=\"2115\">Shock in the Auto Sector<\/h3>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2116\" data-end=\"2231\">The Auto Drive America group, representing major foreign automakers (Honda, Hyundai, Toyota, Volkswagen), said:\u201cThese tariffs will raise production and sales costs in the U.S., leading to higher prices, fewer consumer options, and a drop in U.S. manufacturing jobs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2395\" data-end=\"2592\">The American Automotive Policy Council warned that the tariffs must not result in higher consumer prices, urging that they be applied in a way that preserves North American competitiveness.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2594\" data-end=\"2754\">Meanwhile, the United Auto Workers union praised Trump\u2019s move, saying it could restore thousands of well-paying auto jobs across the U.S. within months.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2756\" data-end=\"2838\">Tesla CEO Elon Musk acknowledged the negative impact, posting on X that:\u201cTesla is not spared. The impact of tariffs on Tesla remains significant.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2917\" data-end=\"3432\">North American automakers have operated under free trade conditions since 1994. The 2020 USMCA agreement, brokered by Trump, aimed to boost local component production. After imposing 25% tariffs on Mexico and Canada in early March, Trump granted a one-month grace period for cars produced under USMCA rules. The White House announced that the new 25% tariffs on auto parts will take effect no later than May 3, targeting engines, transmissions, drivetrain components, and electrical systems.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"3434\" data-end=\"3781\">Importers under USMCA may verify their U.S.-made components to avoid tariffs on American-made parts. Still, Cox Automotive projected the tariffs could increase U.S.-made car prices by $3,000 and Mexican\/Canadian ones by $6,000, disrupting auto production by mid-April and slashing output by 30%, or 20,000 vehicles per day.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_13866\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-13866\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-13866 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/trump1111111.jpg\" alt=\"U.S. car import tax\" width=\"1000\" height=\"718\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/trump1111111.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/trump1111111-300x215.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/trump1111111-768x551.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-13866\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Former U.S. President Donald Trump<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 class=\"\" data-start=\"3788\" data-end=\"3842\">International Backlash: Canada, Mexico, Brazil<\/h3>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"3843\" data-end=\"4032\">If fully applied, tariffs on Canadian and Mexican vehicles could reach 50%.
