I have a report here from the U.S. Department of Labor from September 2024. I'd like to read a quote from that report:
In addition to manufacturing aluminum automotive parts, China processes a large percentage of other key inputs in the automotive industry. For example, China processes iron into steel, lithium and cobalt into battery-grade materials, and bauxite into aluminum. The U.S. Department of Labor specifically identifies electronics and lithium-ion batteries produced in China as automotive components that are produced with child or forced labor.
This is the U.S. Department of Labor. I can't imagine this not coming up in the CUSMA review.
Are we going to be putting a stop on the import of EVs from China once the CUSMA review is under way? I just don't understand how you reconcile the two. I'd appreciate it if you could shed some light on how that's going to work.
