US President Donald Trump has threatened to impose a 100% tariff on Canadian goods if the country reaches a trade deal with China.
It's not clear what deal Trump is referring to in his social media post. Last week, Canadian Prime Minister Carney announced a "strategic partnership" with China and agreed to lower tariffs.
" If Canada makes a deal with China, it will immediately face a 100% tariff against all Canadian goods and products coming into the United States ," Trump said on Truth Social.
At the time, Trump called the move “a good thing.” But tensions between the U.S. and Canada have risen in recent days, after Carney said in a speech in Davos that the U.S.-led world order was collapsing.
Carney also called on "other middle powers" to unite in the face of economic coercion from "greater powers," although he did not mention Trump by name.
Trump responded to the remarks in his speech the next day, saying: "Canada lives because of the United States."
The US president also withdrew an invitation for Canada to join his new Peace Board.
