Southeast Asian nations are the latest foreign trading partners looking
to access America’s coveted electric vehicle tax credits under the
Inflation Reduction Act. But their campaign creates challenges for the
Biden administration, which is looking to balance its efforts to deepen
economic ties in the Indo-Pacific with its promise of a clean energy
transition that will help revitalize American manufacturing. POLITICO’s
Steven Overly breaks down the latest negotiations. Plus, the Interior
Department finalized an effort to block new oil and gas drilling on
federal land surrounding Chaco Canyon, a region in New Mexico culturally
important to Native tribes.
