Canada imposes a 100% tariff on imports of Chinese-made electric vehicles, matching the US

Canada’s government says 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 on Sunday. Sullivan is set to make his first visit to Beijing on Tuesday. Trudeau says Canada also will impose a 25% tariff on Chinese steel and aluminum. There is no immediate response from China, but a former Canadian ambassador to Beijing says there will be retaliation.
