Trump threatens tariffs over China

President Donald Trump on Truth Social threatened to impose a 100% tariff on all Canadian goods if Ottawa signs a trade deal with China. He accused Canada of becoming a 'drop off port' for Chinese products and warned that 'China will eat Canada alive'. Several outlets report he also rescinded an invitation for Canadian figure Mark Carney to join his self-styled 'Board of Peace' and mocked him as 'Governor Carney'.

“Former President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social warning the US would impose a 100% tariff on all Canadian goods if Canada strikes a trade deal with China.”
BBC

The warning followed Canada's recent outreach to China and has intensified an already tense U.S.-Canada relationship. Reports of the threat and the language used are widespread across international coverage.
