Election! Fallout from Trump’s trade bomb

Front Burner

About this episode

Canada may have dodged the worst of Trump’s Liberation Day tariffs, but it didn’t emerge unscathed.


U.S. President Donald Trump confirmed that he is going ahead with a 25 per cent tariff on "all foreign-made" automobiles – a devastating blow for the Canadian auto sector, plunging it into uncertainty.


Aaron Wherry, a senior writer with the CBC’s parliamentary bureau, joins the show to discuss the fallout from Trump’s latest levies, how Canada’s political leaders are responding and what it all means for the final weeks of the campaign.
