Political motivations, domestic support in Canada for retaliation.

The Impact on Major Brands
Tesla: Already reeling from US–Canada tensions, lost incentives, now a 25% tariff.

Washington’s Stance
Rumors about “Trump & Elon Musk panic.”
Why the White House might have underestimated Canada’s willingness to retaliate.
Next steps: More tariffs or a backtrack?

Future of North American Auto Trade
