Canada today announced it is imposing a 100 per cent tariff on imports of Chinese-made electric vehicles that matches US tariffs and follows similar plans announced by the European Commission.

The announcement came after encouragement by US national security advisor Jake Sullivan during a meeting with Canadian PM Justin Trudeau on Sunday. Trudeau said: “Actors like China have chosen to give themselves an unfair advantage in the global marketplace.” Canada will impose a 25% tariff on Chinese steel and aluminum.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
