Nothing says free market like threatening countries for doing buisness with other countries because your country would make less money.

Are you asking how the USA can pressure Mexico to say no?

Cheap electric vehicles aren’t allowed, apparently.

If we were protecting American EVs, I could understand the tarrifs. China is undoubtedly manipulating the market and abusing their workers to price out the competition the way Walmart, Target, Best Buy, Amazon, Google, Subway, and so many other great American companies have done.

But there are no cheap American EVs. These tariffs are designed to protect cheap American gasoline cars, and the American oil and gas industry.

Indeed. China is beating the US at its own game, only it’s the climate that benefits, not American shareholders.
