BEIJING (AP) — Breaking with the United States, Canada has agreed to cut its 100% tariff on Chinese electric cars in return for lower tariffs on Canadian farm products, Prime Minister Mark Carney said Friday.

Carney made the announcement after two days of meetings with Chinese leaders. He said there would be an initial annual cap of 49,000 vehicles on Chinese EV exports to Canada, growing to about 70,000 over five years. China will reduce its total tariff on canola seeds, a major Canadian export, from 84% to about 15%, he told reporters.

“Our relationship has progressed in recent months with China. It is more predictable and you see results coming from that,” Carney said.

Trump, speaking to reporters outside the White House, was asked about the Canada-China deal. The U.S. president didn’t sound too fussed.

"It's OK. That's what he should be doing. It's a good thing for him to sign a trade deal. If you can get a deal with China, you should do that," Trump said, referring to Carney.

Trump's comments come after several members of his administration — namely, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy and Trade Representative Jamieson Greer — told media on Friday that Canada would come to regret the deal.
