The official rationale might focus on issues like trade imbalances, national security, or unfair competition, but it’s hard to ignore how such a move also benefits traditional automotive and energy sectors. This action could slow down the transition to greener technologies, which seems counterproductive in the fight against climate change. <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Canada" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Canada</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/ElectricVehicles" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ElectricVehicles</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/TradePolicy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TradePolicy</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/ClimateAction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateAction</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/VestedInterests" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VestedInterests</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/ev" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ev</span></a></p>
