Canada's automobile exports plunged in January to their lowest monthly level in over four years, marking the steepest decline since U.S. President Donald Trump targeted Canada's auto sector. The drop signals notable near-term weakness in Canada's auto trade and could pressure sector revenues and the trade balance, though the report provides no percentage or dollar magnitude.
