The Canadian government, led by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, plans to impose new tariffs on Chinese-made electric vehicles, steel, and aluminum. This move aligns with the United States' recent tariff measures on Chinese electric vehicles. According to sources, Canada intends to implement a 100% levy on electric cars and a 25% levy on steel and aluminum. The decision is seen as a response to pressure to protect domestic manufacturers and to align with Western allies.
