Trade negotiations between Canada and the US broke down a few days ago. The US will levy 50% tariffs on Canadian goods worth 20 billion US dollars, while Canada announced that it will levy equal retaliatory tariffs on the US starting September 8. At a time when the trade dispute between the US and Canada is at an impasse, the Canadian trade union announced that it has reached an interim agreement with General Motors of the United States to invest in the Canadian automobile industry. According to Canadian sources, the temporary agreement reached between General Motors of the United States and the Canadian Union includes an investment of up to 1.1 billion Canadian dollars in the Canadian automobile industry. Under an interim agreement, GM will manufacture the brand's next-generation heavy pickup truck model at its Oshawa, Ontario plant, while promising not to immediately sell or close the plant in Ingersoll, Ontario. The interim agreement also includes support for the next generation V8 engine project and plans to start a project to assemble a new generation transmission at the St. Catharines, Ontario plant at the end of 2029. In the face of the current trade dispute between the US and Canada, Canadian trade union members believe that this temporary agreement may be the best situation.
