Canada to Curb China EV Imports as Trudeau Responds to Biden Move

(Bloomberg) — Canada is clamping down on imports of Chinese-made electric vehicles (EVs), as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government seeks to align itself with the Biden administration on trade.

Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland announced the start of a 30-day public consultation period — the first stage before Canada can bring in tariffs on Chinese EVs. The government’s plan to hike these tariffs was first reported by Bloomberg News last week.
