Canada Reduces Tariffs on Chinese EVs Amid Security Concerns

Canada has reduced tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles from 100% to 6% as part of a new trade deal between Prime Minister Mark Carney and Chinese President Xi. Security experts warn that while this move could make Chinese EVs more accessible, it does not mitigate the national security threats associated with these vehicles and connected technologies. The shift marks a significant change in Canada's trade policy, diverging from the U.S. stance on Chinese imports.
