U.S. President Donald Trump has threatened to impose a 100 % tariff on all Canadian imports if Canada proceeds with a new trade agreement with China, sharply escalating tensions between the two longtime trade partners. Trump, in a Truth Social post, accused Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney of potentially making Canada a “drop-off port” for Chinese goods entering the U.S., warning China would “eat Canada alive.” The trade deal aims to lower tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles and boost exports like Canadian canola. Trump’s threat follows recent diplomatic clashes over global policy at forums such as Davos. (PC: Reuters)
