# GM's Canadian workers approve deal adding truck to Ontario plant amid US trade war

Aug 30 (Reuters) - General Motors (GM.N) workers in Canada on Sunday approved an agreement that would build a new heavy-duty truck in Ontario, as part of C$1.1 billion ($790.97 million) pledged for its plants in a country now reeling from U.S. tariffs.

The contract comes as Canada’s auto sector grapples with 25% ​U.S. duties on vehicles, with U.S. President Donald Trump pledging to double them to 50% on January 1, 2027. ​The fate of Canadian auto plants has emerged as a central issue in the stalled U.S.-Canada ⁠trade negotiations.
