Canada’s government on Monday announced it is imposing a 100% tariff on imports of Chinese-made electric vehicles that matches U.S. tariffs and follows similar plans announced by the European Commission.
The announcement followed encouragement by U.S. national security advisor Jake Sullivan during a meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and cabinet ministers on Sunday. Sullivan is set to make his first visit to Beijing on Tuesday.
Trudeau said Canada also will impose a 25% tariff on Chinese steel and aluminum.
“Actors like China have chosen to give themselves an unfair advantage in the global marketplace,” he said.
Don’t forget the 100% tariff on Chinese solar panels that’s been around for years, because we have so much choice for locally made solar panels.
What fucking bullshit. So we end up paying for them to ship them via SE Asia, get a COO certificate, and then ship to us, usually via the US. Damn near doubles the cost anyway.
“But everyone has to do their part for climate change”. Fucking hypocrites.
