Why Democrats won’t change EV tax credits despite allies’ anger

European and Asian allies are furious at the Biden administration for being cut out of the lucrative U.S. tax credits for electric vehicles. While President Joe Biden has promised to address the situation, he’s pretty limited in what he can do. And congressional Democrats say they have no regrets. POLITICO’s Steven Overly breaks down why Democrats are unrepentant as US trading partners fume over the EV credits. Plus, the House Oversight Committee has accused oil companies of ‘lying’ about climate actions.
