Sen. Brian Schatz ""We just got absolutely rolled in this Canada - China deal. A stark foreign policy failure

[Swede]

So, Canada buys cars from China, and China buys Canadian crops, and America misses out on both.

“We just got absolutely rolled in this Canada – China deal. A stark foreign policy failure with domestic economic consequences,” Schatz

“The most basic principle in politics and geopolitics is loyalty to friends. And we weren’t just disloyal – we were hostile. So here we are,” he added.

Under the deal, Canada dropped its 100 percent tariff on Chinese electric vehicles (EVs) and raised its cap on EV imports in exchange for Beijing lowering tariffs on Canadian farm products, including canola seeds.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said the “historic” visit to Beijing heralded a “new strategic partnership” that “created massive opportunities for both our peoples.”

1. I wonder if US citizens will be allowed to purchase Chinese EVs from Canadian dealers.

[Buckeyeblue]

10. I was thinking the same thing

Supposedly the Chinese EVs are really good cars. I know in the past that some cars have been prevented from being sold in the US because they didn't meet safety standards.

I am pro protecting US automakers. But I also think US automakers haven't been pro protecting US workers.

Maybe even troops to protect Canada from the aggressor to the south. What a sad situation.

14. I see EU arms sales and Chinese trade in Canada's future.

If Canada enters the EU trading block, the incentive for Great Lakes and Northeastern states to secede and join Canada will be immense.

I hope my dream of a Province of Michigan comes true before I die.

5. "Stable Genius"

Trump’s just another dumbfuck without his enablers in Congress and the Judiciary.
They certainly deserve to rot behind bars with him, where they have to listen to his bullshit all day.

9. Chinese EV's are worth attention

Cheap compared to other available EV’s and lots of interesting features, and surging market share. BYD passed Tesla in terms of individual EV sales.

13. When I retire soon, I need to buy a small house in Ontario.

Small house with Chinese EV.
