WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau returns to Ottawa on Friday after failing to convince President Joe Biden to scrap proposed electric-vehicle tax credits that would favor U.S.-based manufacturers, but said he would keep seeking a solution.

Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives worked into the night to pass Biden's $1.75 trillion domestic investment bill that includes the tax credits that Canada fears will undercut its own efforts to produce electric cars. The bill then will go to the Senate.
