Auto Sector's Inclusion Crucial for Canada-U.S. Trade Deal, Says Brampton Mayor

Key takeaways

  • Patrick Brown emphasizes auto sector inclusion in Canada-U.S. trade deal
  • Stellantis considering closing Brampton assembly plant
  • Negotiations ongoing with potential tariffs on various goods

The mayor of Brampton, Ontario, Patrick Brown, emphasized that any trade agreement between Canada and the U.S. must include the auto sector. His comments come after Unifor reported Stellantis' potential closure of an assembly plant in Brampton. Negotiations regarding tariffs are ongoing, with sources indicating that a deal may involve tariffs on steel, aluminum, autos, lumber, and American alcohol in provincial stores. The deadline for 50% tariffs is approaching, and Brown expressed hope for a deal that includes auto to mitigate the 'devastating' impact of Trump's tariffs on the North American industry.
