Electric-Vehicle Spat Looms Over Biden’s Meeting With Canadian, Mexican Leaders

President Biden’s summit with counterparts from Canada and Mexico at the White House brought him face to face with leaders who have accused his administration of promoting electric vehicles and union jobs at the expense of trading relationships with neighboring countries.

The president met with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador in the White House. The first trilateral summit since 2016 touched on Canadian-operated pipelines, immigration at the Mexican border, the coronavirus pandemic and other issues.
