Canadian authorities, following the example of the US, may also impose significant tariffs on electric vehicles from China, the agency reported The Canadian Press.
Ottawa is already considering the issue. Tariffs on imports of Chinese electric vehicles into Canada are currently 6%, while Canadians buying electric cars, including Chinese ones, can qualify for a rebate of up to C$5,000 (about $3,700 USD) as part of plans Ottawa will waive of domestic sales of vehicles with internal combustion engines by 2035
As reported On May 14, the White House Press Office, the US raises tariffs on steel and aluminum imports (from 0-7.5% to 25% ), semiconductors and solar cells (from 25% to 50%), electric vehicles (from 25% to 100%), computers and a number of other goods from China. We are talking about tariffs on goods worth 18 billion USD, according to the assistant to the US president for national security affairs Dalip Singh, who is responsible for global economic affairs, Washington is trying to form the broadest possible coalition to influence China.
