A CFR analysis argues that China’s EV export surge is pressuring North America’s integrated auto supply chain as the United States, Canada, and Mexico adopt diverging trade and industrial strategies. With USMCA review talks approaching, Canada’s reported opening to Chinese EVs and Mexico’s shifting tariffs could reshape investment flows, supply-chain alignment, and regional competitiveness.
A CFR analysis argues that China’s rise as a leading EV exporter is accelerating policy divergence among the United States, Canada, and Mexico ahead of USMCA review talks. Canada’s move to admit limited Chinese EV imports and Mexico’s shifting tariffs could reshape continental supply chains and complicate U.S. efforts to maintain a unified North American auto strategy.
A CFR analysis published in February 2026 argues that China’s EV export strength is pressuring the integrated U.S.-Canada-Mexico auto system, with Canada and Mexico adjusting policies in ways that may complicate U.S. strategy. The upcoming USMCA review is positioned as a key inflection point that could either preserve regional integration or accelerate divergence and investment reallocation.
A CFR analysis argues that China’s rise as a leading EV exporter is pressuring the United States, Canada, and Mexico to recalibrate tariffs, investment strategies, and supply-chain integration. With USMCA review talks slated for summer 2026, partner divergence—especially Canada’s planned opening to Chinese EV imports and Mexico’s shifting tariff posture—could reshape North American automotive competitiveness.
A CFR analysis argues that China’s rise as a leading EV exporter is driving policy divergence across the integrated U.S.–Canada–Mexico auto sector ahead of USMCA review talks. Canada’s move to admit limited Chinese EV imports and Mexico’s shifting tariff stance could reshape supply chains, investment decisions, and North America’s competitiveness in an EV market increasingly influenced by China.
A CFR analysis published in February 2026 argues that China’s EV export competitiveness is pressuring North America’s integrated auto industry and could reshape trade and investment patterns ahead of the USMCA review. Diverging approaches by Canada and Mexico—alongside U.S. tariff and regulatory exclusion—may determine whether the region remains cohesive or fragments amid a global EV market increasingly influenced by China.
A CFR analysis argues that China’s rise as a leading EV exporter is accelerating policy divergence across North America ahead of the USMCA review. Canada’s reported opening to Chinese EV imports and Mexico’s shifting tariff regime could reshape investment, supply chains, and bargaining leverage vis-à-vis the United States.
