Biden's envoy dismisses Canadian concerns.

US Ambassador to Canada, David Cohen, ridiculed Canadian concerns over electric vehicle tax credits, saying there was no threat because Canada's EV industry was just emerging. He also defended the Biden administration's trade agenda, saying that any suggestion of protectionism was unfounded. Cohen emphasized the need for a close, collaborative relationship with Canada as a like-minded country in the face of competition from China, Russia, and authoritarian regimes. The US and Canada are working together to decarbonize and protect their economies, with US government funding opened up to Canadian firms for clean energy projects.
