Senate delays vote on permanent ban of Chinese cars

Original: Senate punts bill to permanently ban Chinese cars until after midterm elections

The US Senate has postponed action on a bill that would permanently ban Chinese cars from the American market, pushing consideration until after the midterm elections. Lawmakers had faced pressure over national security and competition concerns linked to connected-vehicle technology from Chinese manufacturers, but chose not to bring the measure to a vote before the election break.

Why now: The delay leaves a politically charged trade and national security issue unresolved heading into the midterm elections.
