Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe is asking the canadian federal government to remove the tariffs placed on Chinese electric vehicles.

“From Saskatchewan’s point of view, I would say: Yes, let’s remove the tariffs on electric vehicles,” Moe said on Tuesday.

In 2024,Canada put a 100% tariff on Chinese vehicles. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made this decision following similar actions by the United States, then lead by Joe Biden.

china responded by placing 100% tariffs on Canadian oil and canola meal, and preliminary duties of 75.8% on canola seeds.
