News today of yet another 90 day extension in the trade standoff the USA set off with China.
I continue to worry that if a ‘deal’ finally happens, it will be bad for US automakers.
China isn’t blinking and is not likely to make serious trade offs without gaining access to the US auto market.

My mother would say that 🇨🇦 gave her peace & that she owed it peace back.
She was a lot of firsts but she always put us first & led by example.
When we went visit to her hometown, she wasn’t wistful. She bragged about 🇨🇦 to them all.
I never forgot that.
Happy Canada Day. 🎉

It was a great ovation on the floor of the Senate.
A moment of 🇨🇦 pride I will remember as a connection to everyone watching that speech.
Go Team 🇨🇦!

We should have a national ambition to do great things after all this.
I believe that includes a 🇨🇦 car company. We have some of the best innovators in the world. We should unleash them.
That’s not meant to be Project Arrow, but we built 🇨🇦’s lighthouse & I’m damned proud of it.

Canadian auto jobs have always belonged to Canadians. We’ve built the auto sector together with the USA over 120 years.
I brought WW1-era receipts.
Don’t let them lie to you.

Always great to go through this Trump tariff nonsense with Heather Hiscox on @cbc.bluesky.com Morning.
We are far from the end of the beginning. But the math is immutable. There’s no art in automotive, at least not outside a few spots in Italy and the UK.

Grinding it out, looking for a path forward that could work.
I believe in 🇨🇦 & I believe in a lot of 🇺🇸s here.
There are no shortcuts but it’s all worth fighting for.

🇨🇦 auto parts suppliers have invested $10B+ in parts plants in 26 🇺🇸 states with 48k 🇺🇸 workers - inc. $1B+ new since 2021.
That’s equivalent to 5-10 major car & truck plants.
In MI alone there are 55 🇨🇦 parts plants with 17k 🇺🇸 workers.
This is a Partnership.

How integrated is the North American auto sector? How interdependent are 🇨🇦🇺🇸&🇲🇽?
Very. It is at the core of American competitiveness vs China, Europe, Asia & the world.

The President of the United States is selling cars on the White House lawn of a company whose CEO is empowered by the same President to cut the funding & staffing of government departments that regulate & litigate with it.

Great to be on with @jimsciutto.bsky.social at @cnn.com tonight to make sense of the Trump annexation threats on 🇨🇦.
“Well, it's not helpful and it's insulting to Canadians.
…
There's a new movement in Canada, and that's our Canada first movement.
…
It's not a joke to us.”
