Carney Increases E.V. Investments as Trump’s Trade Policy Disrupts Canada’s Auto Industry
AI Summary
In February 2026, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney unveiled a plan to invest billions in incentives and tax breaks to transform Canada into a global leader in electric vehicle production. This initiative aims to reduce Canada's reliance on the U.S. auto market, which has been negatively impacted by President Trump's tariffs on Canadian vehicles. Canada retaliated with tariffs on American vehicles but is now seeking alternative markets and trade partners. As part of this strategy, Canada will allow a limited number of Chinese EVs into the country at a reduced tariff rate and has also reached an agreement with South Korea that could lead to Korean automakers establishing factories in Canada. Despite these efforts, Canada intends to continue advocating for a return to free trade in the auto industry during the upcoming review.
