About this episode

Spring is usually the hottest time of year for car sales.

But with Trump’s tariffs affecting aluminum, steel and auto parts, this year could be different.

If tariffs on cars come into force on April 2nd as scheduled, there are fears it could upend the automotive supply chain.

Host David Smith speaks with automotive specialist Tim Dimopoulos, publisher of Automotive News Canada, about what it all means for Canadian consumers.
