U.S. President Donald Trump has warned that the United States would impose 100% tariffs on all Canadian imports if Canada proceeds with a trade agreement with China.
In a post on the social media platform Truth, Trump criticized Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, saying he is “gravely mistaken” if he believes Canada could serve as a transshipment hub for Chinese goods entering the U.S. market.
“If Governor Carney thinks he can make Canada a transshipment port for Chinese goods entering the United States, he is gravely mistaken. China will literally consume Canada, destroying its businesses, social structure, and way of life. If Canada makes a deal with China, it will immediately face a 100% tariff on all Canadian goods entering the U.S.,” Trump wrote.
The statement underscores ongoing tensions between the United States, Canada, and China amid global trade realignments and reflects Trump’s aggressive approach toward protecting U.S. economic interests.
