I'm not sure more subsidies are the best way to combat subsidies. I worry such export subsidies will cause consumers in those countries to increase consumption and make those countries reluctant to pass a similar tax.

Those countries already have outsized consumption because carbon externalities are not priced in. Failing to border adjust a domestic US carbon tax would incentivize them to import less, not necessarily consume less.
