Trade talks between US and China leaders could ease restrictions on Chinese electric vehicle imports amid broader trade negotiations.
Presidents Donald Trump and Xi Jinping will discuss trade policies at a summit this week, with the electric vehicle sector under scrutiny. The meeting aims to reduce tensions and address long-standing disputes between the two nations.
US auto industry groups and lawmakers from both parties have opposed Chinese EV imports, citing concerns over market competition and national security. Previous trade negotiations have excluded significant concessions for the automotive sector.
A potential deal could mark a shift in US policy, allowing limited access for Chinese EV manufacturers to the US market.
