President Donald Trump on Saturday threatened to impose a 100% tariff on goods imported from Canada if America’s northern neighbor went ahead with its China trade deal, intensifying a feud with Prime Minister Mark Carney, a rising voice in the West’s pushback to Trump’s new world order.
Trump said in a social media post that if Carney “thinks he is going to make Canada a ‘Drop Off Port’ for China to send goods and products into the United States, he is sorely mistaken.”
It was unclear when Trump might impose the threatened tariff. He said in the post it would happen “immediately” if Canada made a deal with China, which Carney did a week earlier, drawing initial praise from the president.
The White House did not offer any additional details.
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney responded to U.S. President Donald Trump ‘s comment that “Canada lives because of the United States” on Thursday by saying Canada thrives because of Canadian values.
Carney said Canada can show the world that the future doesn’t have to be autocratic after returning from Davos, Switzerland, where he gave a speech that garnered widespread attention.
