Prime Minister Mark Carney said President Donald Trump is satisfied with Canada's arrangement to import a capped number of Chinese electric vehicles at a low-tariff rate. The deal, unveiled during Carney's January trip to Beijing, permits up to 49,000 Chinese EVs annually at roughly 6% tariff, with the quota gradually increasing. When asked, Trump did not explicitly endorse the deal but said he could understand the quota system.
