US President Donald Trump has threatened to impose a 100% tariff on Canada if it agrees to a trade deal with China. Trump made the statement on social media, warning that if Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau believes Canada will become China’s “drop port” to send goods to the US, he is mistaken. Trump said that China will engulf Canada, destroy Canadian businesses, social structures, and way of life. If Canada agrees to a trade deal with China, the US will immediately impose a 100% tariff on Canadian goods.
This threat comes after Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau expressed opposition to the possible US tariff on Canadian goods. Trudeau stated that the tariff on Canadian goods would be unacceptable, particularly on the issue of Greenland. At the World Economic Forum in Davos, Trudeau said that Canada is committed to impartial negotiations for security and prosperity in the Arctic, with a strong stance with Greenland and Denmark.
