The article discusses a proposal by Canadian Trade Minister Mary Ng to impose a 100% tariff on Tesla vehicles as a retaliatory measure against former U.S. President Donald Trump and Tesla CEO Elon Musk. This suggestion comes in response to Trump's previous threats to impose tariffs on Canadian goods, particularly in the automotive sector, during his presidency. The proposed tariff aims to protect Canadian auto workers and the industry from potential U.S. trade policies that could disadvantage Canadian manufacturers. The article highlights the ongoing trade tensions between Canada and the U.S., exacerbated by Trump's "America First" policies and Musk's influence in the electric vehicle market. This move is seen as a strategic counter to ensure fair trade practices and to safeguard Canadian economic interests in the face of potential U.S. protectionism.
