Ford Spared From Tariffs On Canadian Engines After Trump Delay

As Ford Authority previously reported, President Donald Trump set a deadline for this past Saturday in terms of imposing 25 percent tariffs on Canada and Mexico, as well as 10 percent on goods from China in response to his ask for those countries to take action to halt the flow of drugs and illegal immigrants into the U.S. Those tariffs were set to take effect on Tuesday, February 4th, but Trump managed to reach a deal with Mexico that effectively delayed their implementation by 30 days – and shortly after, the same thing happened with Canadian officials.

In a post on X, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced that Trump has agreed to delay the implementation of new tariffs on Canada for at least 30 days after the two had “a good call,” according to Trudeau. Trudeau went on to suggest that this pause stemmed from Canada’s agreement to target the flow of fentanyl into the U.S., noting that he plans “to appoint a Fentanyl Czar” as part of the country’s $1.3 billion dollar border plan that includes stationing 10,000 personnel in that general area as well, in addition to various other measures.

This move came just hours after Trump decided to push planned Mexico tariffs back by a month after speaking with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum, who agreed to send 10,000 national guard members from that country to the border to address concerns regarding drug trafficking. However, the additional 10 percent tariff on China did go into effect, though Trump plans on speaking with Chinese president Xi Jinping as well. All three sides had previously announced retaliatory tariffs would be placed on the U.S. in response, but Mexico and Canada are delaying those actions for now.

Ford CEO Jim Farley has stated that he isn’t worried about any potential Trump policy changes such as the implementation of these new tariffs, but those moves could certainly impact the automaker financially. Currently, Ford produces multiple vehicles in Mexico that are sold in the U.S., and builds a few powerplants at the Windsor Engine plant and Essex Engine plant in Canada, too.

Brett's lost track of all the Fords he's owned over the years and how much he's spent modifying them, but his current money pits include an S550 Mustang and 13th gen F-150.

      THE 5.0 litre, built in Windsor Ontario Canada is regarded as the best Ford engine. That is of course since the 351W. The W stands for Windsor. So when you hear Coyote,think Windsor

  2. It has to do with how the parts are engineered, and how they work as a system. Where they are manufactured has little or nothing to do with the end product. The brand specifies everything. MAKE AMERICA SMART AGAIN!!!
