OTTAWA — After slapping 25 per cent tariffs on steel and aluminum, U.S. President Donald Trump is now threatening to cripple Canada’s auto industry with tariffs of up to 100 per cent.

In an interview with FOX News that aired on Monday, Trump said Canada has a “very big car industry” and falsely accused the country of having stolen it from the United States.

“They stole it because our people were asleep at the wheel,” he said.
