Fear and uncertainty for Ontario autoworkers after Trump announces 25% tariff

Since 2022, workers at GM's CAMI assembly plant in Ingersoll, Ont., have worked to build the BrightDrop electric-powered delivery van. Workers who spoke to CBC News say the industry needs supports from federal politicians to counter the threat of tariffs from U.S. president Donald Trump.

On a day U.S. President Donald Trump announced a 25 per cent tariff on non-U.S.-made vehicles, Ontario autoworkers said it’s the latest wave in what’s been a storm of uncertainty for the Canadian industry, and more proof it needs government support. For Ontario autoworkers at GM’s CAMI Assembly plant in Ingersoll, the help can’t come soon enough.
