What are trade wars?
A trade war happens when countries impose tariffs or other barriers on each other's goods, often in response to perceived unfair trade practices. The influx of cheaper Chinese EVs could spark concerns about fair competition, potentially leading to calls for the UK or EU to consider protective measures against imports.
