For Trudeau, warning U.S. officials about the fallout of Biden’s electric vehicle proposal was a top objective during his two-day visit to Washington.
Biden appeared unmoved when pressed on the tax credit issue by reporters ahead of his meeting with Trudeau. But the president offered some hope for the United States’ neighbors by hinting the controversial provision may struggle to survive. It’s still unclear whether Senate Democratic leadership will push to keep the EV credit in the reconciliation bill intact. Requests for comment to Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, Finance Committee Chair Ron Wyden, and Sen. Debbie Stabenow , the provision’s main sponsor, were not returned.

Instead, he repeatedly emphasized that the meeting was positive, calling the summit “extraordinary” and noting a “good chemistry” between the leaders that “represents a new chapter in the relationship.” He also confirmed that the leaders agreed to meet again next year in Mexico City.
Chrystia Freeland, Trudeau’s deputy prime minister, told reporters Wednesday that the proposal had the potential to become the “dominant issue” in the Canada-U.S. relationship. She said Trudeau told top Republicans and Democrats from the House and Senate on Wednesday that Canada is “certain” that the incentives, as currently formulated, would violate the USMCA.
They must want people to DIE! Isn't that how Democrat/media escalation works..if not met with immediate compliance you are evil and/or racists. They will get to racism after once they can pin down enough light skinned Mexicans involved to suggest some woke nonsense of skin color.
Tough shit
Be YOUR OWN TRUMP, Joe! Truman Supports you!
And... will Canada and Mexico be tooling up to make EVs any time soon. (Mebbe before 2030)
Just like we can't stop Canadians dumping their trash in our state piping their tar sand oil through our state and storing nuclear waste in our state because of trade agreements.
Too bad
