Here's the Scoop · U.S.-Canada Tariff Talks Jolt the Auto Industry; Drive to Decision Day at the Iowa State Fair · 21 Aug 2026 podcast

Okay, so the US and Canada, they're working out this potential deal framework, including haggling over auto tariffs.

Where do we stand on this Friday with regards to those negotiations?

If we rewind all the way to the beginning of this second term of this Trump administration.

What happened that got us to where we are right now?

Because there's been a lot of tariffs, a lot of back and forth, a lot of tariffs that never came to pass, some that did.

Like, can you give us a quick recap of the last year of tariff ups and downs, if you will, in the auto industry?

These negotiations are coming after the US threatened this fifty percent tariff because they didn't like the way that Canada was treating American imports, not just for the automotive industry, but also for dairy products, alcohol products.

But the automotive industry is a really big deal because the US and Canada are so deeply intertwined in that industry, right?

And can you describe the US Canadian relationship specifically?

Because I think people might not necessarily wrap their heads around just how close Ontario is to Michigan and how there's a bridge and multiple bridges now that connect the two.

I remember visiting an auto parts uh uh company in in Michigan that says that they bring parts back and forth from Canada multiple times per day.

It is so closely intertwined.

There are negotiations happening right now between the US and Canada, but there's a broader question over what's going to happen with the US MCA, that trade agreement between Mexico, Canada, and the US, which was ex i especially allowed to uh expire earlier this year.

I I wanna ask about the complicated nature of all this because as you mentioned, in some cases, it's about the percentage of the part or the percentage of the car that's made in a certain country that determines whether or not it's tariffed.

I mean, like, do auto manufacturers and auto parts, like small businesses, they have to like have four lawyers looking over the trade law and actually at the plant, like measuring out like what percentage of the alloy comes from what country to figure out.

And obviously the big question is how does it this impact American consumers, people who might not know the nuances of trade law or understand how cars are built?

They just wanna know what they pay for a car that they try to drive off the lot.

So what is the total impact of all this on people trying to buy a car?

Nora Eckert at Reuters, thank you so much.

All right, we're gonna take a very quick break.
