US Quadruples Tariffs on Chinese Imports: Impact on EVs and Strategic Industries

The United States, under President Joe Biden's administration, is significantly increasing tariffs on various Chinese imports like electric vehicles, semiconductors, and solar panels, to safeguard American industries and counter China's unfair trade practices. The move aims to protect strategic sectors such as clean energy and semiconductor production, with tariffs expected to cover imports worth $18 billion.

China has threatened retaliation, calling for the US to reverse the decision, while Biden's stance reflects a tough-on-China approach to prevent the flooding of the US market with surplus goods. The European Union is also feeling pressure to address Chinese EV subsidies following Biden's tariff plans, signaling a broader global impact of these trade measures.
