Senator Sherrod Brown wrote to Biden urging him 'to take bold, aggressive action and to permanently ban EVs produced by Chinese companies.'
WASHINGTON — The chair of the Senate Banking Committee on Thursday urged President Joe Biden to block Chinese-made vehicles from the United States auto market, marking the strongest call yet for action against China's automakers by a U.S. lawmaker.
Brown's comments arguing for a permanent ban of Chinese EVs from the U.S. market are the strongest yet by any U.S. lawmaker on the issue. Others have called for steep tariffs to keep EVs out of the United States. Auto industry officials told Reuters in February that Biden is considering hiking tariffs on Chinese EVs and the letter is the latest in growing pressure on the White House to take further steps to prevent Chinese vehicle imports.
"We are going as fast we can to identify the risks and take any actions we think are national security concerns," Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo told Reuters last month."If China is subsidizing the vehicles in a way that puts American workers at a disadvantage we have to do something about that."
