I remember when Biden was completely against tariffs...hypocrisy at its finest!

The only moral reason to tariff EVs would be for the devastatingly exploitive working and living conditions for children mining lithium in the Congo. But it's Biden so obviously, apartheid regimes aren't really on his radar and this is purely an attempt to stir up drama with China while we continue to invest in oil fracking.
