Don't worry, the US govt will put huge tariffs on them soon enough.
Probably can't do that under NAFTA (or whatever Trump renamed it to).
You mean like the softwood lumber dispute that's been going on for over 40 years where the US has put illegal tariffs on Canadian softwood exports? The one where they've been found in breach of the agreement multiple times and still haven't fixed it?
Yeah, I'm sure they would never put tariffs on Mexican electric cars to protect their own auto industries.
