Fairly sure those EV subsidies already do that and they're locked to US only.

I'm afraid of them buying up US companies and workers, the way they've bought up much of Hollywood and gaming. Our system of capitalism means they get to use our own weapons against us.

NAFTA was terminated by Trump, and then re-established and more or less the same form but with his own signature on it, as USMCA. You know, to put the US first. There is a joke that he originally demanded that the M (for Mexico) be put last, but that would have made the initialism a bit too on the nose.

Here in Helsinki, Finland I see way more Chinese EVs than I see western EVs combined. Now if you ask a random Helsinkian (is that a word?) about this they'd say I was wrong, but what they don't realize is most of the public transportation here runs on Chinese EV busses. And you see way more of those local blue busses than you see other EVs.
