So, Canada buys cars from China, and China buys Canadian crops, and America misses out on both.

“We just got absolutely rolled in this Canada – China deal. A stark foreign policy failure with domestic economic consequences,” Schatz

“The most basic principle in politics and geopolitics is loyalty to friends. And we weren’t just disloyal – we were hostile. So here we are,” he added.

Under the deal, Canada dropped its 100 percent tariff on Chinese electric vehicles (EVs) and raised its cap on EV imports in exchange for Beijing lowering tariffs on Canadian farm products, including canola seeds.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said the “historic” visit to Beijing heralded a “new strategic partnership” that “created massive opportunities for both our peoples.”
