特朗普政府官员周五表示，加拿大将会后悔允许中国进口至多4.9万辆电动汽车的决定，这些汽车将不允许进入美国。

美国交通部长肖恩·达菲在俄亥俄州一家福特工厂与其他政府官员共同出席的一场活动上表示：“我认为他们会回顾这个决定，并且肯定会后悔将中国汽车引入他们的市场。”此次活动旨在宣传降低汽车价格的举措。

继美国对中国电动汽车征收类似关税后，加拿大计划于2024年对中国电动汽车征收100%的关税。但加拿大最近允许电动汽车进口的举动引发了美国的担忧，他们认为这可能会帮助中国在北美获得更大的立足点，而与此同时，华盛顿对加拿大汽车和零部件的立场却日益强硬。

美国贸易代表杰米森·格里尔表示，数量有限的电动汽车不会影响美国汽车公司向加拿大出口汽车。

他说：“我不认为这会扰乱美国对加拿大的供应。这些汽车是要出口到加拿大的——它们不会进入美国。”加拿大驻华盛顿大使馆尚未对此置评。

格里尔在接受CNBC采访时称加拿大的决定“有问题”，并补充道：“我们在美国不怎么卖中国车是有原因的。因为我们征收关税是为了保护美国汽车工人和美国民众免受这些车辆的侵害。”

根据新协议，加拿大总理马克·卡尼表示，他预计中国将在3月1日前将油菜籽关税降至约15%的综合税率。

格里尔对这项协议表示质疑。“我认为从长远来看，他们不会喜欢达成这项协议，”他说。

格里尔表示，将于2025年1月生效的关于联网和导航系统车辆的规定，对中国汽车进入美国市场构成重大障碍。

“我认为他们很难在这里运营，”格里尔说。 “美国对车辆及其系统的网络安全有严格的规章制度，所以我认为中国企业可能很难遵守这些规定。”

与此相反，唐纳德·特朗普总统曾表示，他希望中国汽车制造商来美国建厂。

然而，美国两大政党的议员都强烈反对中国汽车，而美国主要汽车制造商也警告称，中国对美国汽车行业构成威胁。

俄亥俄州共和党参议员伯尼·莫雷诺在一次活动上表示，他反对中国汽车进入美国市场——此番言论赢得了其他政府官员的掌声。

“只要我还活着，就绝不允许中国汽车进入美国——就这么定了。”莫雷诺说道。

Trump administration officials said on Friday that Canada would regret its decision to allow China to import up to 49,000 Chinese EVs, and that those cars would not be allowed to enter the United States.“I think they’ll look back at this decision and surely regret it to bring Chinese cars into their market,” U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said at an event with other government officials at a Ford factory in Ohio to tout efforts to make vehicles more affordable.Canada in 2024 imposed 100% tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles following similar U.S. duties. But its recent move to allow EVs has prompted alarm in the U.S. that it could help China get a broader foothold in North America even as Washington takes an increasingly hardline on Canadian vehicles and parts.U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said the limited number of vehicles would not impact American car companies exporting cars to Canada.“I don’t expect that to disrupt American supply into Canada,” he said. “Those cars are going to Canada — they’re not coming here.”The Canadian Embassy in Washington did not immediately comment.Greer in a separate CNBC interview called Canada’s decision “problematic” and added: “There’s a reason why we don’t sell a lot of Chinese cars in the United States. It’s because we have tariffs to protect American auto workers and Americans from those vehicles.”Under the new deal, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said he expects China will lower tariffs on its canola seed by March 1 to a combined rate of about 15%.Greer questioned that agreement. “I think in the long run, they’re not going to like having made that deal,” he said.Greer said rules adopted in January 2025 on vehicles that are connected to the internet and navigation systems are a significant impediment to Chinese vehicles in the U.S. market.“I think it would be hard for them to operate here,” Greer said. “There are rules and regulations in place in America about the cybersecurity of our vehicles and the systems that go into those, so I think it might be hard for the Chinese to comply with those kind of rules.”In contrast, President Donald Trump has said he would like Chinese automakers to come to the United States to build vehicles.However, lawmakers from both major U.S. parties have expressed strong opposition to Chinese vehicles as major U.S. automakers warn China poses a threat to the U.S. auto sector.Ohio Senator Bernie Moreno, a Republican, said at the event he was opposed to Chinese vehicles coming into the United States — and drew applause from the other government officials.“As long as I have air in my body, there will not be Chinese vehicles sold the United States of America — period,” Moreno said.
