    Canada to Impose 100% Tariff on Chinese Electric Vehicles

    Canada to Impose Tariffs on Chinese Electric Vehicles and Metals

    Canada Introduces 100% Tariff on Chinese Electric Vehicles

    Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced on Monday that Canada will impose a 100% tariff on the import of Chinese electric vehicles (EVs). This move aligns Canada with similar actions taken by the United States and the European Union to counter China’s trade practices. Trudeau made the announcement during a press conference in Halifax, Nova Scotia, highlighting the importance of this decision in maintaining fair trade.

    Additional Tariffs on Chinese Steel and Aluminum

    In addition to the EV tariffs, Canada will also implement a 25% tariff on imported steel and aluminium from China. These measures follow a 30-day public consultation period on Chinese EVs and related products that Ottawa launched over a month ago. The consultation aimed to gauge public and industry opinions on imposing such tariffs.

    Trudeau’s Justification and Global Alignment

    Trudeau emphasised that these tariffs are a response to China’s unfair trade practices. He stated, “I think we all know that China is not playing by the same rules.” The Prime Minister underscored the importance of Canada taking these steps in alignment with other global economies, ensuring a united front in dealing with China.

    Strengthening Canada’s Position in the Global EV Supply Chain

    Canada aims to establish itself as a vital component of the global EV supply chain, and these tariffs are part of that strategy. The country has signed several significant deals with leading European automakers to strengthen its manufacturing sector, particularly in the EV industry. As the US prepares to finalise its own tariff increases, Canada’s actions demonstrate its commitment to competing in the global market while protecting its domestic interests.
