In response, that us maritime alliance says it is offering to keep the current ban on fully automated equipment. A strike could cost the us economy $5 billion a day according to jp morgan analysts. A range of goods flow through the east and gulf coast ports. Everything from raw materials and pharmaceuticals, to clothes and toys, with the ports accounting for more than half of containerized imports. While consumers may not feel the impact of the strikes right away, if it extends for weeks, it could lead to shortages and high prices ahead of the presidential election. That is something new york governor kathy hochul weighed in on. The potential for disruption is significant. We have not had an event occur like this in our ports since 1977 and that lasted 12 days. We are deeply concerned about the impact that a strike could have on our supply chains, especially when it comes to critical goods like medical supplies and others. Under the i947 taft—hartley act, president biden has the authority to order striking dock workers back to work but the current administration has said it would not intervene and encourages all parties to keep negotiating in good faith.

He's an expert on security and defence but not exactly the economy. From today, canada will tax chinese—made electric vehicles at 100%. It follows similar moves by the us and eu. They are all concerned that china's cheap cars are distorting the market unfairly. We have been speaking to the canadian international trade minister. We know that china has an intentional state—directed policy of overcapacity and that they generally do not have. . . Do not meet the same labour and environmental standards as canadian producers do so these tariffs are really a necessary measure to counter those practices that really distort competition and what you are seeing in canada's decision is a decision that will ensure we stand up for our workers and manufacturers and that we are building those evs of the future and standing up for fair trade. China has already retaliated. Your canola producers look like they are in the firing line. Can you afford to win a trade war against the second biggest economy? i am hoping we are not entering a trade war. We are hoping this is about making sure we are countering practices that are distortive in the global marketplace but on the issue of canadian canola, no—one has ever accused canadian producers of ever dumping into a market. Canadians are fair traders. You say you are not interested in trade war but your government is already looking at tariffs on chinese ev batteries, semiconductors, solar products and critical minerals. Are you sure that will not lead to a trade war? that is intended to do is to create a level playing field. We are imposing a 25% tarrif on steel and aluminium products imported. That will come into effect in the middle of october. We're trying to stand up for a fair trading system. Brian kingston explains how the levies are likely to impact the domestic car industry. The most important thing to understand is that this was a pre—emptive measure. We do not have any chinese manufacturers currently selling vehicles in canada. The government has done this to ensure there is time provided for all the $40 billion auto investments over the last four years into evs assembly and batteries — we need them to ramp up and start producing. And secondly we have to remain aligned with the united states auto approach to china. Our industry exists because we have always aligned our policies with the us and taken this action will ensure that canada has the same approach to china as the americans. Is canada as we heard from the trade minister, ready for a trade war with china if that is where it leads? i do not think that will happen. We have seen some action in china in response but it is important to look at the broader trade picture for the canadian economy. Canada is very fortunate to sit beside the largest, most dynamic economy in the world, in the us. Our economic prosperity always has and always will depend on access to the us so while trade turbulence with china of course has a negative impact on canada, if we are not on—side with the americans on this approach to china, we would have far larger economic concerns on the horizon.
