Mark Carney’s deal to allow Chinese electric vehicles to enter Canada with a low tariff rate will make trade talks with the U.S. tougher, the Canadian Vehicle Manufacturers’ Association says.
Brian Kingston, the organization’s chief executive officer representing Canadian auto plants of the Detroit-based General Motors, Stellantis and Ford, said the Prime Minister’s decision last month to remove the 100% tariff on EVs and replace it with a 6.1% most-favoured-nation rate “further complicates” trade talks later this year.
