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\u00a0alarm 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.<\/p>\n<p>US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said the limited number of vehicles would not impact US car companies exporting cars to Canada.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t expect that to disrupt American supply into Canada,\u201d he said. \u201cThose cars are going to Canada \u2013 they\u2019re not coming here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Canadian Embassy in Washington did not immediately comment.<\/p>\n<p>Greer, in a separate CNBC interview, called Canada\u2019s decision \u201cproblematic\u201d and added, \u201cThere\u2019s a reason why we don\u2019t sell a lot of Chinese cars in the United States. It\u2019s because we have tariffs to protect American auto workers and Americans from those vehicles.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>Greer questioned that agreement. \u201cI think in the long run, they\u2019re not going to like having made that deal,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"cybersecurity-of-vehicles\">Cybersecurity of vehicles<\/h2>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it would be hard for them to operate here,\u201d Greer said. \u201cThere 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.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In contrast, President Donald Trump has said he would like Chinese automakers to come to the US to build vehicles.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>Ohio Senator Bernie Moreno, a Republican, said at the event he was opposed to Chinese vehicles coming into the US \u2014 and drew applause from the other government officials.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs long as I have air in my body, there will not be Chinese vehicles sold the United States of America \u2014 period,\u201d Moreno said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>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.
