US Considers Increasing Tariffs on Chinese Electric Vehicles

Move Aims to Boost Competitiveness of US Clean-Energy Products

President Joe Biden's administration is considering increasing tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles and other goods to make US clean-energy products more competitive.
Officials from the White House and various Cabinet agencies have been discussing whether to hike duties on certain Chinese exports.
The discussions are part of years-long deliberations that began shortly after Biden took office.
Some in the administration would like the debate to conclude early next year.
Chinese electric vehicles are already subject to a 25% tariff, which has limited the number of cars Chinese automakers are sending to the US.
