Trump Threatens Canada with 100% Tariffs Over Potential Trade Deal with China

Former US President Donald Trump has threatened Canada with tariffs of up to 100% on all products imported from Canada to the US if the Canadian government proceeds with a trade deal with China. Trump accused Canadian Prime Minister Marc Carney of seeking to turn Canada into a “Drop Off Port” for Chinese goods, arguing that this would harm the American economy. He warned that China would “devour” Canada, leading to the destruction of its businesses and way of life. This threat is part of the broader US’s tough trade stance towards China and its effort to discourage allies from strengthening their economic ties with Beijing.
