GB News: UK could impose massive tariffs on Chinese electric cars after 'looking very closely' at EU and US moves
An expert suggests that the UK may impose tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles (EVs) to protect its market, following similar actions by the EU, US, and Canada. These countries have raised tariffs significantly due to concerns over unfair subsidies benefiting Chinese manufacturers.
The UK's decision will likely consider the EU's actions closely, as market integration is a key factor. Chinese manufacturer BYD is already adapting by establishing a factory in Turkey to circumvent tariffs. The UK government remains cautious and focused on the impact on its domestic automotive industry.
