US comments came in response to deal by Canada PM Carney to allow 49,000 EVs into Canada at 15 percent tariff, down from 100 percent Officials of the administration of United States President Donald Trump have said that Canada will regret its decision to allow imports of up to 49,000 Chinese EVs, and that those cars would not be allowed to enter the US. “I think they’ll look back at this decision and surely regret it to bring Chinese cars into their market,” US Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said on Friday at an event with other government officials at a Ford factory in Ohio to tout efforts to make vehicles more affordable. Canada in 2024 imposed 100 percent tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles (EVs) following similar US duties. But on Friday, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney announced a trade deal in Beijing that would allow in up to 49,000 Chinese EVs at a tariff of 6.1 percent on most-favoured-nation terms. That move has prompted alarm in the US that it could help China get a broader foothold in North America even as Washington takes an increasingly hardline on Canadian vehicles and parts. US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said the limited number of vehicles would not impact US car companies exporting cars to Canada. “I don’t expect that to disrupt American supply into Canada,” he said. “Those cars are going to Canada – they’re not coming here.” The Canadian Embassy in Washington did not immediately comment Greer, in a separate CNBC interview, called Canada’s decision “problematic” and added, “There’s a reason why we don’t sell a lot of Chinese cars in the United States. It’s because we have tariffs to protect American auto workers and Americans from those vehicles.” As per the trade agreements announced in Beijing on Friday, Carney said he expects China to lower tariffs on its canola seed by March 1 to a combined rate of about 15 percent, down from 85 percent. Greer questioned that agreement. “I think in the long run, they’re not going to like having made that deal,” he said. Cybersecurity of vehicles Greer said rules adopted in January 2025 on vehicles that are connected to the internet and navigation systems are a significant impediment to Chinese vehicles in the US market. “I think it would be hard for them to operate here,” Greer said. “There are rules and regulations in place in America about the cybersecurity of our vehicles and the systems that go into those, so I think it might be hard for the Chinese to comply with those kind of rules.” In contrast, President Donald Trump has said he would like Chinese automakers to come to the US to build vehicles. However, lawmakers from both major US parties have expressed strong opposition to Chinese vehicles as major US car makers warn China poses a threat to the US car sector. Ohio Senator Bernie Moreno, a Republican, said at the event he was opposed to Chinese vehicles coming into the US — and drew applause from the other government officials “As long as I have air in my body, there will not be Chinese vehicles sold the United States of America — period,” Moreno said. https://www.aljazeera.com/amp/economy/2026/1/16/us-says-canada-will-regret-decision-to-allow-chinese-evs-into-their-market

Trump is too wise for Canada, they don't understand international policy like Trump does. Taking notes from Trump will profit them more. |

😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 Someone is pained! Trusting the Chinese, they will nail the coffin of American automobiles, and extend partnership into other areas like telecoms and construction. The dumb Trump thinks he has monopoly over bullying. He should sit back and watch the movie! I doubt if the turd knows how far China has gone with Mexico. Trump is a blessing in disguise. When someone said China won’t fire a single shot to nail the US, I believe that person saw the future. The US itself will deliver it to China.

Flangelo12:do you know the reason why China attacks less is because they suck at it Vietnam: Repeated invasions by various Chinese dynasties (Qin, Han, Sui, Tang, Ming) and the PRC invasion in 1979.( They lost heavy) India: 1962 Sino-Indian War (seizing Aksai Chin) and 2020-21 skirmishes. Korea: Tang Dynasty invasions. Central Asia: Han and Tang dynasties conquered territories, including parts of modern Xinjiang, from Turkic groups. Tibet: Annexed by the PRC in 1950, following earlier Qing Dynasty incursions. Myanmar (Burma): Yuan and Qing Dynasties launched expeditions. Taiwan Strait: Multiple crises and confrontations, notably in 1958, 1995, and ongoing tensions. South China Sea: Clashes and seizures of reefs (Subi, Mischief, Scarborough Shoal) involving the Philippines and Malaysia. Soviet Union: Border clashes in 1969.(They lost heavy) Same way they will lose very hard if they attempt to annex Taiwan |

Now imagine the casualty from both sides including civilians brainwashed to die for the emperor. The bomb ended the war quickly. |
