US says Canada decision to allow imported Chinese EVs 'problematic"'

U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer criticized Canada's decision to permit the import of up to 49,000 Chinese electric vehicles at a low tariff rate, calling it "problematic." He warned that Canada may regret this choice, emphasizing the protective tariffs in the U.S. that limit the sale of Chinese cars. Greer noted that Canada is also seeking agriculture tariff relief as part of the EV agreement, suggesting that the long-term implications of this deal may not be favorable for Canada.
