U.S. President Donald Trump says he will slap a 25 per cent tariff on medium and heavy-duty truck imports, an announcement that comes just a day before he meets with Prime Minister Mark Carney.
Trump made the announcement in a post on his social media platform Truth Social saying the new tariff rate will begin Nov. 1.

The White House confirmed the tariffs would not hit goods compliant with the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement on trade, commonly known as CUSMA.
Omar Mansour from Victoria says he feels encouraged by Carney’s announcement but believes Canada needs to do more to assist people trying to flee the Gaza Strip, where aid workers say a famine is unfolding in the war-ravaged territory.
