He implied that he would push to amend the U.S. Mexico Canada Agreement (USMCA) free trade deal and slap taxes as high as 200% on Mexican-made cars to prevent them from entering the U.S. The EPA regulations require automakers to sell more plug-in cars to meet emissions targets aimed at preventing billions of tonnes of harmful gasses from entering the atmosphere.
