Summary
Canada just struck a deal with China to import up to 49,000 electric vehicles annually at just a 6% tariff—down from a punishing 100%—and even got a nod from Trump, who admitted he’d prefer a cap over no cap at all. While the U.S. keeps its own steep tariffs and bans Chinese EV software over security, Canada is pushing for global supply chain partnerships, with its Industry Minister in China to lure joint ventures. Prime Minister Carney emphasized this isn’t a guaranteed investment deal, but a strategic opening for real Canadian manufacturing—not just parts shipped in. It’s a delicate balancing act between trade, security, and economic growth. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
