The Globe and Mail reports in its Wednesday, Oct. 8, edition that retooling at Ford's Oakville, Ont. plant will continue despite President Donald Trump's announcement of a 25-per-cent tariff on medium- and heavy-duty trucks starting Nov. 1. The Globe's Eric Atkins writes that Brian Kingston, president of the Canadian Vehicle Manufacturers' Association, said that the tariffs will not impact Ford's plans to produce F-Series Super Duty pickup trucks when the plant reopens next year. "Oakville plans have not changed," said Ford spokesman Robyn Jackson. In April, Mr. Trump imposed 25-per-cent tariffs on light vehicles from Canada and Mexico and launched an investigation into the national security implications of imported trucks, hinting at more taxes to come. "It was known that the [U.S.] administration was doing this investigation, and it was fully expected that they were going to come forward with a tariff," Mr. Kingston said. He added: "That doesn't change the fact that this is another example of the administration doing intentional damage to its very own industry. It's hard to see what the objective is here." The coming tariff also applies to the Chevrolet Silverado HD pick-up made at GM's Oshawa plant.
