US Bill Would Prevent Chinese Connected Cars In Canada From Entering United States Authored by Olivia Gomm via The Epoch Times , Two U.S. lawmakers are set to introduce a bill aimed at preventing Chinese-connected vehicles from entering the United States via Canada and Mexico , amid growing concerns over Chinese-made electric vehicles entering the Canadian market. BYD electric cars waiting to be loaded on a ship are stacked at the international container terminal of Taicang Port at Suzhou Port, in China's eastern Jiangsu Province on Sept. 11, 2023. AFP via Getty Images U.S. Representative Haley Stevens and Senator Elissa Slotkin , both Democrats, announced the Protecting America from Chinese Cars Act last week at a conference in Michigan. The bill would prohibit connected vehicles from China and other "adversarial nations" from entering the United States, including vehicles made or designed in China, as well as vehicles made by a Chinese company or an entity more than 15 percent owned by Chinese companies, according to a May 28 press release from Stevens's office. It would also establish a process for vehicle manufacturers to apply for specific authorization to allow otherwise prohibited vehicles to enter the United States. Authorization would only be granted under "strict conditions, with both transparency and congressional oversight." Federal authorities in Canada have also raised concerns that connected vehicles could pose security and privacy risks if the data they collect falls into the wrong hands. In a memo, Public Safety Canada said Canada must expand its economy in response to a changing geopolitical environment, but warned that opening its markets to "new players" could also "amplify the presence of high-risk vendors." The department said unauthorized access to data and connected vehicle systems "could be used to establish patterns of life or conduct surveillance on sensitive sites." It also said national security laws in countries such as China can compel...

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio testifies during a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing concerning the fiscal year 2027 budget for the State Department, on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC, on June 2, 2026. Brendan Smialowski | AFP | Getty Images Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Tuesday that Iran has mined "large segments" of the Strait of Hormuz, indicating that explosives in the strategic sea lane are more widespread than previoulsy acknowledged. "They're firing on commercial ships and they've mined large segments of Hormuz ā international waters," Rubio told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, in his first appearance before Congress since the U.S. and Israel launched the war against Iran on Feb. 28. Iran must agree in any deal with the U.S. that it will not charge a toll to transit Hormuz, will not fire on commercial ships and will help remove any mines it has laid in the strait, the Secretary of State said. "What they're doing is unlawful and illegal," Rubio told the Senate. Hormuz is a crucial chokepoint for the global energy market, with about 20% of global oil supplies passing through the sea lane before war. Oil tanker traffic through the strait has plunged due to threats from Iran, triggering the the largest supply disruption in history. President Donald Trump cast doubt early in the war that Iran was deploying mines. In a Truth Social post on March 10, Trump warned Tehran that if it has deployed mines in Hormuz, they were to be removed immediately. The president said the following day that he didn't think Iran had mined the strait when asked by a reporter outside the White House. Trump said on April 23 that he ordered the U.S. Navy to " shoot and kill " any boat that was deploying mines in the strait. He said U.S. mine sweepers were "clearing the Strait" at an accelerated tempo. But Iran's mines still pose a major challenge to the resumption of large scale commercial traffic more than a month after Trump said the US. was clearing the explosive...
